The EU EOM considers that election observation by national organisations should be facilitated, not limited, and that refusal to accredit a particular group should rely on objective, reasonable and non-discriminatory grounds, founded in law. The EU EOM recommends that any future regulation the CSE issues regarding election observation should respect observers’ right to have access to all electoral sites and events, without unreasonable restrictions, and without having to give prior notice. Equally, the regulation and practice should recognise that observation groups may report freely and publish their findings.
