Promoting free and fair elections in times of democratic decline: Independent Evaluation of the OSCE’s Work on Elections 2013 - 2023

This evaluation provides an assessment of how the OSCE — primarily through the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and its field operations — has contributed to the implementation of OSCE commitments on democratic elections, focusing on election observation recommendations and follow-up support to electoral reform processes in participating States. The evaluation assessed the following criteria: coherence, effectiveness, impact, sustainability, and equity. It covered a ten-year period (2013–2023) and included both an OSCE-wide perspective and more in-depth analysis in specific contexts where the OSCE has a field presence. The evaluation was managed by the OSCE Office of Internal Oversight (OIO) and conducted by external consultants and OIOOIO
