Objectives
Our goal is to invite
those who wish to learn and share in the experience of being an
electoral observer. Our delegations represent people from a broad range of
professional and educational backgrounds and community
groups. Observers’ involvement will serve as a powerful message of
support to the people of Latin America. It will also provide delegates an
opportunity to learn first-hand about various Latin American electoral
processes, political history and the challenges facing civil society in constructing
a democracy. Observers will be encouraged to join with other Canadians and
Latin Americans to work together on common social justice issues.
Delegates will:
·
learn about the Constitution and electoral process of
the host country
·
learn critical skills required to be an electoral observer
·
serve as electoral observers
·
report on their observations of the electoral
process
·
meet with representatives from Latin American civil society,
political organizations and government agencies
·
educate and inform Canadians about the electoral
process in the country in which they served as an observer
·
develop cooperative links between Canadian and Latin
American non-governmental civil organizations
