Secretaries of OSCE PA Delegations
29 January 2018
Dear Heads of Delegations,
Presidential election will be held in the Russian Federation on 18 March 2018, and in
anticipation of an invitation to observe, the OSCE PA will deploy an election observation mission to
these important elections.
Please find attached a registration form for Members wishing to observe these elections.
We kindly ask you to return the completed form with a copy of the photograph page from
Members’ passports, a digital photo, and the completed Code of Conduct for OSCE PA Election
Observers to the International Secretariat at ([email protected]) as soon as possible, but no
later than
16 February 2018.
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 expected participation.
We therefore invite each
national delegation to nominate up to ten 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
Moscow, 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 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 only English interpretation will be provided in meetings and briefings.
Yours sincerely,
Iryna Sabashuk
Head of Administration for Election Observation
