Declaration of Principles Annual Implementation Meeting 2024: Shaping the Future of Election Observation

Welcome to the website of the Declaration of Principles annual implementation meeting 2024.

The meeting is hosted by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) in the Polish city of Gdansk from 20 to 22 November. Representatives of the 55 endorsing organizations of the DoP from across the globe will be taking part, sharing experiences, best practices and new tools in their election observation work.

We will be regularly updating this blog in the run up to the event, giving a taste of the topics that will be discussed at the end of this ‘year of democracy’, where almost half the world’s population was able to participate in elections, in more than 50 countries.

We will also bring you highlights of the discussions at the end of each day of the conference, and encourage you to join in the discussion on social media using the hashtag #DoPGdansk2024.
