The Election Commission (EC) has decided to suspend the process of granting poll observer status to PASHA. This move comes amid ongoing considerations regarding the organization’s role and eligibility in election observation activities.
The EC has not provided a specific timeline for when the decision will be finalized or resumed. Further updates are expected as the commission reviews relevant criteria and information.
**Why this matters**
Poll observers play a critical role in ensuring transparency and fairness during elections. The suspension of PASHA’s observer status may impact the monitoring and reporting of election processes, affecting stakeholders who rely on independent observation for credible election assessments.
