The Department of Electoral Cooperation and Observation (DECO) of the Secretariat for Strengthening Democracy of the Organization of American States and the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil organized the X Inter-American Meeting of Electoral Management Bodies. The meeting was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on November 19th and 20th, 2015.

The purpose of this meeting was to provide a forum for leaders or representatives of the highest electoral authorities to share experiences by analyzing three main topics: “The implementation of electoral reforms: regional trends and specific experiences”, “The use of social networks in electoral processes and campaigns” and “Political-electoral financing: how to ensure equity in the electoral process?”. These issues were addressed in three panels that allowed the exchange of best practices in the Americas.
