The Mission was present at the simulation of the Preliminary Electoral Results Transmission System (TREP) on November 16 and in the coming days will continue to hold meetings with electoral and government authorities, candidates, political leaders, representatives of civil society and other relevant actors to follow up on aspects related to electoral organization and technology, the political participation of women, electoral justice, voting abroad, campaigns and freedom of expression, and political financing.
The Mission reiterates its concern over the acts of violence that have taken place in the context of this electoral process and urges all political actors and citizens to contribute to creating an environment of peace, which will allow Hondurans to freely express their will through the vote. In addition, it welcomes the initiatives promoted by electoral authorities and civil society that aim to generate a civility pact and the holding of peaceful elections.
After the elections, the Mission will present a preliminary report with its observations and recommendations in order to contribute to the strengthening of electoral processes in Honduras.
