To carry out its mandate, the EU EOM will deploy more than a hundred experts and observers throughout the country, under the leadership of the head of the mission, MEP Javi López.

The team will examine the Colombian electoral process in the light of international standards and principles on democratic elections: from the legal framework to the electoral campaign and its coverage in the media and social networks.

The mission will analyze the impartiality, efficiency, and transparency of the Electoral Administration during counting, processing and publication of the results. It will observe any appeals that may arise after the election days.

Together, these observation and analysis efforts seek to further strengthen peace and democracy in Colombia at one of the most relevant moments of its recent history.
