Secretaries of OSCE PA Delegations
Copenhagen, 16 March 2015
Dear Heads of Delegations,
Parliamentary general elections in the United Kingdom are scheduled for 7 May
2015, and the OSCE PA will deploy an election observation mission to these important
elections.
Please find attached a registration form for Members wishing to observe the
elections in the United Kingdom. We kindly ask you to return the completed form with a
copy of the photograph page from Members’ passports, a signed copy of the attached
nomination form, and a digital photograph of the Member to Operations Officer Iryna
Sabashuk at the International Secretariat at ([email protected]) as soon as possible, but no
later than
17 April 2015.
Please note that due to registration procedures, we may not be
able to accommodate those who register after the deadline.
To ensure geographical balance within the Assembly mission, each national
delegation may nominate up to 10% of the entire participation. We therefore invite each
national delegation to nominate up to three participants.
Further information, including a detailed programme, will be distributed to
participants soon. Briefings for the mission are expected to be held beginning 2-3 days
before election day. Members are reminded that in accordance with the OSCE PA’s
Astana Declaration of 2008, participants are expected to attend the full briefing
programme as well as the de-briefing on the day following the election.
I wish to remind you that national parliaments are responsible for their Members’
expenses and that the mission will be conducted in English, with no interpretation
provided in meetings and briefings.
Yours sincerely,
Andreas Baker
Director of Elections
