The role of election observers is crucial for identifying electoral irregularities. In this respect, the Venice Commission’s Guidelines on an internationally recognised status of election observers underline that “[e]lection observation missions should have the right to make suggestions or comments to the authorities in charge of the electoral process, in case they observe any irregularity, which should be rectified.” However, the Guidelines are silent on the possibility to lodge complaints. Electoral laws often provide the right to report possible inaccuracies or irregularities or to make suggestions, either on a record book that is part of the election material, or on the protocol of the election commission. These precious elements are factors among others that can be used in an electoral dispute, whoever has standing (preferably not the observers themselves). The same is true for individual comments by election commissioners, when they are possible. As underlined by the Venice Commission’s Guidelines on an internationally recognised status of election observers, domestic election observers “must not interfere in the electoral process and must be politically impartial”.
