Secretaries of OSCE PA Delegations
Copenhagen, 16 September 2015
Dear Heads of Delegations,
Early parliamentary elections will be held in Turkey on 1 November 2015, and following
an invitation from the Government of Turkey, President Ilkka Kanerva has decided that 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 election in
Turkey. We kindly ask you to return the completed form with a copy of the photograph page
from Members’ passports and a digital photograph to the International Secretariat at
([email protected]) as soon as possible, but no later than
9 October 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 five participants.
Further information, including a detailed programme, will be distributed to participants
soon. Briefings for the mission are expected to be held during the 2 days before election day in
Ankara, 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
