They can be from governmental organizations, non-profit groups, or international bodies. Their role includes watching the voting process, counting of ballots, and ensuring that laws and regulations are followed. These observers help to build public confidence in the electoral system by reporting on the integrity of the elections. They may provide recommendations for improvements and can highlight any irregularities or issues that arise during the process, contributing to a more trustworthy democratic system.
