The role of election observers is crucial in ensuring free and fair elections, as they monitor the electoral process to verify its transparency and integrity. These observers assess various aspects, including voter registration, ballot distribution, and counting procedures, to ensure compliance with national and international standards. Their presence can deter irregularities and enhance public trust in the electoral process. After elections, observers often provide reports on their findings, contributing to improvements for future elections and helping to uphold the democratic principle of accountable governance.
