This handbook sets out ODIHR’s approach and practices in assisting participating States in the follow-up of electoral recommendations. While ODIHR has conducted follow-up activities for several years, this handbook aims to establish a more systematic approach that provides clarity and consistency and promotes greater attention to the implementation of recommendations. It has been developed on the basis of generous extra-budgetary contributions as part of ODIHR’s continued effort to improve its methodology and to increase professionalism in election observation activities. The handbook is primarily intended for actors in OSCE participating States addressing ODIHR’s electoral recommendations, but it will also be of use to those following up on recommendations outside the OSCE region.

The purpose of this handbook is to provide better guidance to ODIHR election observation missions and teams on how to approach campaign finance as part of the overall observation of an election. While ODIHR has included campaign finance in its general observation methodology, this handbook aims to establish a more systematic and comprehensive approach to observing this important part of the election process. It has been developed on the basis of extra-budgetary contributions as part of ODIHR’s continued effort to improve its methodology and to increase professionalism in the observation of certain specialized aspects of elections.

The present publication builds on the Guidelines to Assist National Minority Participation in the Electoral Process by including new material on the development of international standards and good practice in the field of promoting the participation of national minorities in electoral processes.
