Building on the first reference to election observers in the 2008 Election Law, the rights and responsibilities of national and international observers could be given further detail, prioritizing observers’ right to view all stages of voting and counting and their responsibility to remain neutral and not interfere in the process. Domestic observation organisations should be supported in their endeavour to recruit and train election observers, not least because of the opportunity provided for citizens to be involved in a constructive and evaluative approach to political processes.
