Paragraph 21
 
 
21.  The Inter-Parliamentary Union during its 154th session (Paris, 26 March 1994) adopted a Declaration on Free and Fair Elections[8] urging governments and parliaments throughout the world to be guided by the principles and standards set out therein. In particular, it specified that states should recognise and make provision for: the right of the individual to vote, on a non-discriminatory basis, and the right of the individual to access an effective, impartial and non-discriminatory procedure for the registration of voters.
