24 January 2018
Dear Heads of Delegations,
Parliamentary elections will be held in Italy on 4 March 2018, and following an invitation to
observe, the OSCE PA will deploy a limited 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
8 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 3 Members of Parliament, in addition to members of the OSCE PA Bureau.
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
Rome, 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
