OAS ELECTION MONITORS HAIL BOLIVIAN COMMITMENT TO DEMOCRACY
July 11, 2002
The Organization of American States (OAS) Electoral Observation Mission in Bolivia today praised Bolivians for demonstrating renewed commitment to democracy by turning out in large numbers recently to vote peacefully.
Elizabeth Spehar, the Chief of Mission, told the OAS Permanent Council that Bolivians had demonstrated to the international community their commitment to the highest democratic ideals enshrined in the Inter-American Democratic Charter.
She explained that, based on the OAS Mission's observations, the elections proceeded normally, in an atmosphere of calm, transparency, freedom and security. She observed as well that that Bolivia's National Electoral Court acted correctly and seriously by not making projections before a significant percentage of the results were in from the country's various departments.
The Observation Mission reiterated recommendations to improve basic conditions for Bolivia's electoral processes, including the need to update the voters list; the need for a single civil registry; a rapid official vote-count system; media access; and the need to review the cost of election campaigning.
Bolivia's Ambassador to the OAS, Marcelo Ostria Trigo, thanked the OAS Mission for the report and praised the "excellent job" it had done. He recalled that since 1985 five presidential elections have been held in his country, each improving on the previous. "Election observations missions are very clear and enable us to continue improving our democratic process through elections," said Ambassador Ostria Trigo.
The 54-member OAS Electoral Observation in Bolivia began working on June 19 and worked from five regional centers.
