Election observation allows citizens to help improve the quality of democratic elections, by advising those who legislate for, administer and oversee elections, to enhance them for the benefit of voters. Through constructive interaction with electoral authorities the data you collect will provide evidence, which can be used to improve our institutions and practices.
In addition to this, observing is great fun and a brilliant way to meet other individuals with similar interests to your own. You will also gain experience collecting data in a real world setting and have been involved in an extremely useful mission.
