OSCE Second Interim Report

The New York Times reports that although international observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have not yet issued their final report on the conduct of the 19 February presidential election, a second interim post-election report is more critical of the vote.

The report documented numerous cases of violence, including a case in which a domestic observer lost consciousness, and “implausibly high voter turnout” at a number of polling stations. It assessed the vote count at 17 percent of the stations as “bad or very bad” and reported “significant procedural errors,” including placing ballots on the wrong candidate’s pile.
