A group of 32 #EU Election Observation Mission Short-Term Observers (STOs) were deployed across all 9 provinces of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. They start their important work immediately. On election day they observed the opening, voting, counting and tallying of votes. The Deputy Chief Observer addressed the observers and journalists present at the deployment event. Following an invitation by the Election Commission of Sri Lanka, the European Union deployed a mission to Sri Lanka to observe the presidential elections scheduled for 21 September 2024. The #EU has a long history of accompanying electoral processes in Sri Lanka and has deployed Election Observation Mission’s (EU EOM) on six occasions, the last in 2019, reflecting the EU's commitment to democratic processes and partnership with the country. The European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) was led by Chief Observer Nacho Sánchez Amor, a Member of the European Parliament from Spain. The Core Team of the EU EOM consisted of 10 election experts, who arrived in Colombo on 14 August. On 25 August, 26 Long-term Observers joined the mission to be deployed on the 29 August across the country to follow the electoral process. A group of 32 Short-term Observers joined the mission around election day to observe the opening, voting, counting and tabulation of results. The EU EOM remained in the country until the completion of the electoral process. Following the EU election observation methodology, the mission issued a preliminary statement at a press conference hold in Colombo two days after the elections. The final report, which will include a set of recommendations for future electoral processes, will be presented and shared with stakeholders after the finalisation of the entire electoral process.
