Handbook for the Observation of Campaign Finance
The purpose of this handbook is to provide better guidance to ODIHR election observation missions and teams on how to approach campaign finance as part of the overall observation of an election. While ODIHR has included campaign finance in its general observation methodology, this handbook aims to establish a more systematic and comprehensive approach to observing this important part of the election process. It has been developed on the basis of extra-budgetary contributions as part of ODIHR’s continued effort to improve its methodology and to increase professionalism in the observation of certain specialized aspects of elections.
