The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, today designated former Uruguayan Ambassador Agustín Espinosa Lloveras as Head of the Electoral Mission (EOM) that will observe the upcoming Municipal Elections in October in Brazil. Espinosa, who has a PhD in Diplomacy, was Ambassador to Germany, Brazil, Egypt, Israel, and the United Kingdom, among other senior positions serving his country. In 2020, he was Head of the OAS/EOM in Brazil and is currently the Special Representative of the OAS General Secretariat for Belize-Guatemala Affairs.
The purpose of the EOMs is to support the improvement and strengthening of electoral processes and systems by providing technical recommendations to the host country. To achieve this objective, in this case, the OAS Mission will have a team of specialists who will analyze topics such as electoral organization; electoral technology; electoral justice; political financing; political participation of women and indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples; political-electoral violence; and campaigns, media and digital communication.
This will be the seventh time that the OAS has deployed a Mission for elections in Brazil. The first was in 2018.
