Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they are aware of for international bodies to send election observation missions to the United Kingdom during the forthcoming General Election.

As a participating State of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the UK Government invites the OSCE to send observers to UK Parliamentary general elections and has done so for the General Election on 7 May. OSCE will inform us who they will send closer to the time.

The Electoral Commission also publishes a list of those who have been accredited as observers, who do not need to be formally invited or to notify the Government of their attendance at UK elections.
