About

The sessions are being organized in co-operation with the Presidential Administration and the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Participants will be briefed about the provisions of the Election Code on non-interference and given practical examples of what is considered as interference with regard to existing commitments for democratic elections within the OSCE. The sessions will also outline the basic principles of free and fair elections, clarify the role of the executive authorities, and emphasize the independence and responsibilities of the election commissions, particularly in relation to organization of municipal elections.
