The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers (CODEO) is pleased to release its third preelection environment observation findings covering October to mid-November 2016. The findings presented in this statement are based on bi-weekly field reports submitted by CODEO’s Long Term Observers (CODEO LTOs) deployed in 134 randomly selected constituencies across the 10 regions of the country. Guided by a checklist, CODEO’s LTOs observe the general political environment, including election-related preparatory activities by state and non-state actors, civic/voter education programs as well as political party campaign activities. The LTOs also observe the conduct of the security agencies, electoral irregularities and pre-election disputes adjudication, among others.
