The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) formally opened a limited election observation mission for the 26 June presidential election in Mongolia. The mission’s deployment follows an official invitation from the Mongolian Government. The mission is led by Ambassador Geert-Hinrich Ahrens and consists of a core team of 10 experts based in Ulaanbaatar and 20 long-term observers to be deployed in teams of two across the country. The mission will assess the election for compliance with OSCE commitments and other international obligations and standards for democratic elections, as well as with national legislation. Observers will follow the implementation of election-related legislation, campaign activities, the work of the election administration and relevant government bodies, the media environment and the resolution of election-related disputes. As part of the observation, the mission will also monitor the media coverage of the campaign. The day after the election, the mission will join with the observer delegation from the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to issue a statement of preliminary findings and conclusions at a press conference. A final report on the observation will be published approximately two months after the completion of the electoral process.
