Memorandum on the OSCE PA Observation of the
11 July Early Parliamentary Elections in Moldova
OSCE PA Election Observation Mission
Parliamentary elections are planned to take place in Moldova on 11 July 2021, and in anticipation of
an invitation to observe these elections, the OSCE PA President has decided to deploy an Election
Observation Mission to these important elections to work closely with the expected teams of the
OSCE/ODIHR and the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly.
Due to the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and specifically to
gathering limitations in Moldova, briefings will be held online in the days prior to the election, with
observers expected to travel to Moldova only after participating in the online briefings and
immediately prior to election day. The online briefing format is necessary to abide by gathering
restrictions currently in place in Moldova. Observers are requested to consult the preliminary
programme outlined below prior to making travel arrangements.
Nomination and Appointment of Parliamentary Observers
In accordance with the attached OSCE PA Election Observation Guidelines, national Delegations
wishing to nominate their members to participate in this mission are kindly asked to complete and

Please note that in accordance with the Guidelines nominated observers are not part of an observation
mission before they have been appointed by the OSCE PA President. The International Secretariat
will communicate the list of observers to delegations that have forwarded nominations following
appointment by the OSCE PA President. Due to registration procedures, we may not be able to
accommodate those who register after the deadline.
Online briefings, travel and accommodation
Briefings for observers will be organized fully online on 8 and 9 July, with observers expected to
connect from their home countries. After participating in the full online briefing programme,
