Observations of the 1999 Indonesian Elections
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In early 1999, the Indonesian Electoral Commission (Komisi Pemilu Umum) KPU issued decree number 12 of 1999 on Election Observation and Procedures which identified a role for domestic and foreign observers. Election observers from governments and non-government organisations around the world were invited to seek accreditation from the KPU. Given CDI’s focus on supporting democratic processes and institutions in Indonesia, it was considered to be important for the Centre to be involved in the international election observing effort. CDI’s Executive Officer, Dr Sharon Bessell, received accreditation from the KPU and travelled to Jakarta for the elections.
