Become an election observer to the Moldovan parliamentary elections
Do you want to support democratic procedures and ensure transparency? Then become an
international election observer in Moldova.
Moldova is set to hold parliamentary election on the 28 th of September. Silba will have an election
observation mission to provide an impartial assessment of the electoral processes, to identify strengths and areas for improvement in the electoral framework and to support democratic practices.
Silba is a Danish-based youth democracy organization. We have more than 20 years of experience in training youth in conducting election observations and have conducted over 50 Election Observation Missions. We employ an observation methodology inspired by the OSCE/ODIHR. We believe that election observations are key for transparency in electoral processes, accountability and democratic rights.
About the election observation mission:
This Election Observation Mission is funded by the DUF European Pool. Because of that, travels between Denmark and Moldova will happen through land-based means of transportation. The election observation (including land-based transportation) will take place from the 22 st September to the 1 st of October (specific dates might be adjusted).
