US – PRE-ELECTION OBSERVATION REPORT

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE FOR TRANSPARENCY
In many respects, the electoral landscape has improved since 2000. The delegation applauds the efforts of state and local officials to discover and implement creative solutions to many of the problems in their communities. It is also heartened by the energy of civil society to work toward positive electoral change. Despite this collective good will there are a number of existing problems that pose a substantial threat to the integrity of the 2004 General Election in the United States. Clearly, many of these thematic concerns are shared across states. Our recommendations are based on our findings and, as appropriate, on the standards and norms set by democracies around the world.
