· the Federal Election Commission,
· the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS),
· the Federal Communications Commission Media Unit,

The Chief of the Mission, former Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla, said that the 41 international observers and experts that make up the team “have been observing early voting processes and we hope to continue to see a great turnout on Tuesday. Our experts on electoral organization and technology, campaign financing, political participation in the process and the role of the media in the campaigns are collecting valuable information to fulfill both of our goals: learning about practices that can be shared with other member states and providing recommendations to the host country on areas of potential improvement.”Fact Sheet.
