OAS Deploys Electoral Observation Mission in Guyana
May 5, 2015
The Electoral Observation Mission of the Organization of American States (OAS/EOM) to the general and regional elections in Guyana on May 11 begins its final deployment in Georgetown today.
The delegation, headed by the former Foreign Minister of Belize Lisa Shoman, who was designated by Secretary General José Miguel Insulza, is comprised of 23 observers from 13 countries (Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States). The first members of the Mission arrived in Guyana on May 2, following a preliminary visit in mid-April to learn about the preparations for the elections.
The Mission will focus its observation on electoral organization, electoral-political financing and the equal participation of men and women in the electoral process. It will also gather information about the status of the recommendations made in the last OAS/EOM in 2011.
The OAS/EOM will be meeting with electoral authorities, representatives of political parties, government officials, and members of the media and civil society organizations, amongst other stakeholders, to discuss perspectives on the electoral process. On Election Day, observers will visit polling stations across the country at every stage from the opening of the polls to the counting of votes and the publication of results.
This is the fifth time the OAS has observed elections in Guyana, following Missions in 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2011.The day after the election, the OAS/EOM will present its preliminary findings in a press conference and will subsequently present a report to the Permanent Council of the Organization in Washington, DC.
