The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe conducts evaluations of the conduct of elections in its member countries.
Since 2002, the OSCE has been on the ground for every U.S. federal election. Now it is no longer allowed to carry out its task in the inter-conventional elections. If you want the integrity of elections, don't ignore election observers, the president of the organization emphasizes.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said on Wednesday that its observers had not been invited to the US midterm elections in November, expressing regret over the unprecedented decision.
For the first time since 2002, no European observers will be present at the midterm elections in the United States. The OSCE sees this as a "clear departure from a tried and tested democratic practice".
The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe must not observe the interim elections in the USA. Criticism of this is also from Germany.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has not received an invitation to send observers to the US for the upcoming midterm elections for the first time in 24 years. "This choice deviates from an established democratic process," said OSCE Chair Pere Joan Pons. The US government has not yet provided an explanation for the decision.
