International observers play a critical role in elections by ensuring that the electoral process is conducted fairly and transparently. Their presence can help deter fraud and intimidation, encouraging voter participation and trust in the electoral system. Observers assess various aspects of the election, including the conduct of candidates, ballot integrity, and adherence to legal guidelines. They also report their findings to domestic and international stakeholders, which can influence the perception of the election's legitimacy. Their evaluations contribute to accountability and aid in fostering a more robust democratic process.
