Comfrel supports the Bangkok Declaration on Free and Fair Elections

Dear all,

On December 10 and 11, 2012, Election Management Body (EMBs) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working to promote free and fair elections across Asia will gather in Bangkok, Thailand for the inaugural meeting of the Asian Electoral Stakeholder Forum to endorse the Bangkok Declaration on Free and Fair Elections. The Bangkok Declaration is the product of over a year of effort to craft a document which can serve as a beacon of electoral virtue in Asia. More than that, however, the effort as a whole is the culmination of years and decades of struggle towards fairer elections and more representative governments in Asia, where progress towards free and fair elections has been measurable but where much remains to be done to insure that all citizens are able to freely choose their governments.

For details, please see the attached file.

Best regards,

COMFREL
