LEGAL REGULATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF OBSERVERS: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

Abstract

Abstract. Public monitoring of the electoral procedure is enshrined in regulatory legal acts in many countries of the world. This paper examines the legal framework governing the activities of observers in countries with developed democracies, as well as in individual CIS countries. As the comparative analysis shows, the key differences are the presence or absence of the possibility of participation of individuals in the observation process, as well as the ways of regulating the observation process.
