OAS and Dominican Republic Sign Agreement on Electoral Observation Mission for May Elections
April 30, 2010
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Government of the Dominican Republic signed today an agreement on the work of the OAS Electoral Observation Mission will do for the general, congressional and municipal regular elections to be held in the Caribbean country on May 16 of 2010.
During the ceremony, held at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C., OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza highlighted the long relationship the OAS electoral observation missions have had with Dominican democracy, indicating that this would be the fourteenth election the OAS observes in that country. “We are very glad to have seen improved standards every time,” he said.
Furthermore, Secretary General Insulza said, “it is up to us to verify elections in these processes and we evaluate the norms and policies of each country. We always want elections to be by secret ballot, to have a good turnout, to have options and that they be contentious, because democracy is precisely that.”
For his part, the Permanent Representative of the Dominican Republic to the OAS, Ambassador Héctor Virgilio Alcántara, highlighted the achievements and progress of Dominican democracy. “In the last 45 years in our country, 15 continuous electoral processes have been held,” he said. “In all that time our governments have been chosen through elections. This reveals that Dominican democracy is a mature democracy, it is a democracy that has taken root and intends to become stronger institutionally and in giving our citizens greater participation in the political process,” he added.
The Electoral Observation Mission will be set up May 7 and will be headed by Mr. Adam Blackwell, OAS Secretary for External Relations; he will be accompanied by more than 50 international observers from 20 countries.
