Our duty is to make sure that El Salvador has free, fair and transparent elections as well as to observe and provide witness to the electoral process and to potential violations of the electoral code before and during the elections.
It is our hope that our presence as International Observers helps diminish the likelihood of political intimidation and violence during the elections.
We are committed to reporting our observations at all times. Among the members of our group of International Electoral Observers from the United States are: County Councilmember George Levanthal from Montgomery County, Maryland; Salvadorian American National Association; CASA de Maryland; Manuel Zapata Olivella Center for Education and Human Development in Washington, DC; Wesley United Methodist Church in Washington, DC; Salvadorian Students in the United States; Our Lady of the Guadalupe Church in Chicago, IL; the Matea Group in the Washington, DC region; among many more.
We are a range of human, religious and civil rights groups, businesses and U.S. elected officials from the United States who are accredited as International Electoral Observers in the 2009 Presidential Elections in El Salvador.
