    Yangon, October – Historic Elections in Myanmar will be observed by representatives of Philippine Civil Society Organizations. Observers from the National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) are contributing to the Election Observation Mission in Myanmar conducted by the Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL). They joined as part of a team of observers from across Asia that on October 12th deployed to the field to begin observing the pre-election period. The ANFREL Election Observation Mission (EOM) objective is to strengthen Myanmar’s democratic processes by enhancing the integrity of the electoral process and the accountability of electoral stakeholders. To support these goals, ANFREL has chosen observers coming largely from the independent civil society groups and citizen monitoring organizations that make up its network across Asia. In total, ANFREL’s observers hail from 18 different countries. A team of 20 Long-Term Observers (LTOs) and 28 Short-Term Observers (STOs) will be deployed to observe the General and Local Elections. The observers will be deployed across the country in pairs to collect a representative sample of the voting conditions across Myanmar. Prior to their deployment, the observers will be briefed in Yangon on the country’s political and electoral conditions and our mission planning. The observation operation will be guided by ANFREL’s standard observation methodology which is tailored to comply with the Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation adopted by international organizations including the United Nation Electoral Assistance Division (UNEAD). ANFREL is also guided by our shared principles that inspired the Bangkok Declaration on Free and Fair Elections and the announcement of the indicators on free and fair elections at the Asian Stakeholder Electoral Forum (AESF) held in Dili on March 2015. ANFREL & NAMFREL observers hope to observe a genuine electoral process free from irregularities and fraud that will bring about a representative government that reflects the true will of the people. They believes that the presence of observers can help to make the entire process more transparent and accessible to the public and look forward to continued fruitful engagement with the Election Commission of Myanmar, local Civil Society Organizations, other election stakeholders, and most especially the people of Myanmar.

    Formed in November 1997, the Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) has established itself as the
    preeminent regional NGO in Asia working on elections and democracy promotion. ANFREL focuses on
    Election observation as well as capacity building and development for national CSOs that are actively
    working on democratisation in their home countries. Since its formation, ANFREL has operated in more
    than 46 elections in 16 countries across Asia. Our long-term aim is to build expertise on elections and
    governance in the region, entrenching a culture of democracy that is seen as locally developed rather
    than externally imposed. Through observing elections in other countries, our observers have developed a
    strong understanding of international best practices knowledge that can then be applied in their
    respective home countries. For more about us see www.anfrel.org.
