📢 Find here todays' Preliminary Statement of the Election-Watch.EU Election Assessment Mission on the 6 - 9 June 2024 European Parliament elections 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/diByBXKK
❗ Election-Watch.EU released its Preliminary Statement of the Election Assessment Mission to the European Parliament elections at a press conference in Brussels today: https://lnkd.in/diByBXKK ✔ Main take away: There is a clear need to further harmonise and safeguard democratic practices 🔴 Main preliminary findings: ✴ Disparities in suffrage rights, representation opportunities, campaign finance rules, and voting options persist with a need for further harmonisation to reduce inequality across Member States. ✴ Special measures foster electoral inclusion and representation among marginalised groups, with good practices serving as inspiration for further efforts to address serious remaining gaps. ✴ Publishing detailed election results, restricting anonymous and foreign funding, and labelling political advertisements enhance public trust but some Member States need to further improve transparency. ✴ Regulation and oversight of offline and online campaigns increase the accountability of political actors but require effective implementation and adjustment of different rules across Member States. ✴ Trust in national election administrations and voter registration systems remains high, while enhancing European data exchange and electoral dispute resolution is crucial. ✴ In response to mal-intended interference, various resilience mechanisms have been put in place. Free media and an active civil society are crucial for safeguarding democracy but need to be protected.

🆕 🗳️ ⚖️ Such a great honour! The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) issued a resolution recognizing national and international election observers as human rights defenders. We are very proud of this decision that - as we can read in the press release in the link below 👇🏾 👇🏾👇🏾 - highlights "the important role of election monitors for the defense of democracy and the rule of law.
