Those principles are: autonomy, objectivity, and neutrality.
The main objective of the EOMs is to observe the processes to make them more transparent, professional and complete, and in this way contribute to the strengthening of democratic processes.
Since 1962, the OAS has deployed more than 200 EOMs in 26 of the 34 member states of the OAS, involving more than 5,000 international observers.
Countries trust in the EOMs of the OAS more than ever: in 2014 there were 14 Missions; 2015 will conclude with at least 15 more.
EOMs are technical tools with standard criteria that are applied in the same way in all member countries where they are deployed.
The criteria of the EOMs are public in character and are clearly defined in the OAS electoral observation manuals.
The OAS has extensive and widely recognized technical expertise in electoral observation and the highest standards recognized even outside the hemisphere. Countries in Eastern Europe and Africa have requested assistance from the OAS in these issues.
The Missions of the OAS have progressively broadened the scope of their work. The OAS observes political inclusion (gender equity, afro-descendants and indigenous peoples, the vote abroad and people with disabilities), the electoral process as such (technology and logistics, media, electoral justice) and the integrity of the elections (campaign financing, security and electoral crimes).
Every Mission presents a verbal report to the OAS Permanent Council, which includes a detailed account of the activities of the Mission, a summary of the events observed and a set of recommendations. All the reports are public and are available here.
