Copenhagen, 19 December 2014
Dear Heads of Delegations,
Parliamentary elections have been called in Tajikistan for 1 March 2015, and
OSCE PA President Ilkka Kanerva has decided to deploy an Election Observation
Mission to these important elections.
Please find attached a registration form for Members wishing to observe the
elections in Tajikistan. We kindly ask you to return the completed form with a copy of
the photograph page from Members’ passports to Operations Officer Iryna Sabashuk at
the International Secretariat at ([email protected]) as soon as possible, but no later than
6 February 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 four participants.
Further information, including a detailed programme, will be distributed to
participants soon. Briefings for the mission are expected to be held 2-3 days before
election day, and Members are reminded that in accordance with the OSCE PA’s Astana
Declaration of 2008, participants are expected to attend the full briefing programme.
I wish to remind you that national parliaments are responsible for their Members’
expenses and that only English interpretation will be provided in meetings and briefings.
Yours sincerely,
Andreas Baker
Director of Elections
