Since 1987, NDI has organized  more than 150 international election observation delegations worldwide. The reports from these missions, including pre-election assessments, preliminary election statements and final reports, are now available in an archive that can be searched by region, country [2] or chronology [3].

These missions demonstrate international support for election integrity, provide an impartial appraisal of the electoral environment, promote public confidence in the electoral process, and provide recommendations for improving electoral processes where appropriate. The Institute’s observers adhere to the Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation and the Code of Conduct for International Election Observers [4], which was launched at the United Nations in 2005 and which NDI helped develop.
