Catalogue of Recommendations on Electoral Reform
EPDE member organizations acknowledge that a
considerable majority of election-related recommendations remain unaddressed by relevant lawmakers – often for years. To support citizen observer organizations’ efforts in tracking the implementation of recommendations, EPDE developed this open source multi-country online catalogue. To date, the database contains over 490 recommendations pertaining to elections held between 2012 and 2018 in the wider Eastern Neighborhood region. EPDE is regularly publishing comparative reports on the implementation of election-related recommendations in specific areas.

Database of Politically Biased Election Observers
Not only elections can be falsified – also election observation can be imitated. The Russian Federation and Azerbaijan are among the frontrunners of states that systematically invite politically biased international election observers – often members of European parliaments – to whitewash fraudulent elections. Without clear methodology and ignoring international standards these “election observers” try to legitimize falsified or illegitimate elections. Thereby they destroy trust in elections and discredit critical and independent election observation in the region. This database contains 374 names of notorious “fake election observers” from over 60 countries.
