Commonwealth Observer team

Commonwealth Observer Mission arrival statement for Nauru General Elections

Our three member team was constituted by the Commonwealth Secretary-General, the Rt Hon Patricia Scotland QC, following an invitation from the Electoral Commissioner of Nauru. The team is supported by two members of staff from the Commonwealth Secretariat.

Commonwealth observers were last deployed to observe Nauru’s General Election in 2004, in a joint mission with the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat. We are very pleased to return in 2016, alongside and working closely with the Pacific Islands Forum observer mission.
