On Sunday, members of the Estonian delegation to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Heljo Pikhof and Anti Poolamets will observe the parliamentary elections in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
“The upcoming parliamentary elections offer the Hungarian people a valuable chance to express their opinion,” said member of the delegation Heljo Pikhof. “At the same time, it offers the state the chance to demonstrate its commitment to free and democratic elections,” Pikhof continued. She added that the task of the elections observers is to give an honest and accurate assessment to the elections.
More than 100 members of national parliaments will observe the parliamentary elections in Hungary within the framework of the mission organised by the OSCE PA. The purpose of the mission is to assess the elections against democratic commitments contained in the OSCE’s 1990 Copenhagen Document.
Election observation missions have been an important part of OSCE’s activities since 1993. The missions monitor whether the elections are conducted legitimately and respect the democratic standards.
