International observers arrive in Sri Lanka for comprehensive election monitoring

Date:

September 15, Colombo (LNW): A total of 71 representatives from various international election observation organisations have recently arrived in Sri Lanka to oversee the upcoming electoral process.

This group includes 43 observers from the European Union (EU) and 22 from the Commonwealth.

Additionally, six observers from the Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) are on the ground, marking a significant international presence aimed at ensuring a fair and transparent election.

Further strengthening this effort, 34 more EU observers and three additional ANFREL representatives are expected to join in the coming days, along with seven observers from neighbouring countries.

Their presence underscores the global attention on Sri Lanka’s electoral proceedings and the commitment to upholding democratic standards.

The National Election Commission has confirmed that these observer teams have already initiated pre-observation activities.

They aim to ensure thorough and comprehensive coverage across all 22 electorates, scrutinising the election environment, campaign practices, and the overall voting process.

This proactive engagement reflects a concerted effort to bolster electoral integrity and reinforce public confidence in the democratic process.
