OAS Mission Begins Deployment of International Observers in Peru
April 8, 2011
The Chief of the Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) in Peru from the Organization of American States (OAS), Dante Caputo, recently arrived in Lima to head the activities of the Mission ahead of the General Elections to be held this Sunday, April 10.
The EOM/OAS began its work in mid-March, and since last Sunday has begun a progressive deployment of its 74 international observers from 24 countries of the Americas and Europe. The Mission will follow the electoral process in all regions of the Peruvian territory, observing its organization and the development of ballot casting.
The Chief of the EOM/OAS thanked the electoral authorities for their collaboration and noted that the Mission is ready to exercise its tasks of observation, about which it will report to the nation’s public through the media. “We believe it is important in this sense that Peruvian society have adequate information issued in the shortest amount of time regarding the evolution and results of the voting,” Dante Caputo indicated.
The International observers of the EOM/OAS were trained by personnel from the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) and the National Jury of Elections (JNE) on aspects of the Peruvian Electoral Code, such as the process of voting, the ballots to be used, and others.
Similarly, the EOM/OAS will observe the Peruvian General Elections with the application of a gender methodology, with the goal of analyzing a specific aspects of the voting, such as the participation of women in the different parts of the electoral process: women’s access to elected office, their position in the makeup of the voting tables, and their level of participation.
