According to the Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters, it is best to make the observation process as broad as possible, including party observers, non partisan observers and international observers (CDL-AD(2002)023rev, Expl. Report para 87). However, sometimes electoral administration bodies approve only certain types or limited lists of observers, leading to an exclusion of others. In Austria, for instance, the Parliamentary Election Act allows for election observation by OSCE observers, but not by domestic citizen observers. Due to the lack of such a provision, the citizen election observation organisation “wahlbeobachtung.org” was denied accreditation in Austrian elections. In Hungary, no citizen election observation is permitted, either. In Greece, only party agents from a maximum of three parties per polling station are allowed to monitor voting and counting operations. In cases where more party observers were present, a lottery was organised in the 2019 parliamentary elections, which is odd by international standards.
