SP resources – Election reports

There are quite a few organisations that engage in electoral assistance and observation and that publish reports. Some of these reports are purely formal, but some also provide useful background information about the election and an analysis of the results. Moreover, because of the very nature of the work, the reports are often on countries about which it is otherwise difficult to obtain information. Here are some sites:

African Union (usually in French, including Gabon, Guinea-Bissau and Mauritania)
Carter Center (including DRC and East Timor)
Commonwealth Secretariat (including Mozambique and Sri Lanka)
European Union Election Observation and Assistance (including Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau)
National Democratic Institute (including reports on Ukraine, Georgia, and a really interesting report on democracy in Montenegro)
OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (including Armenia and Azerbaijan)
