The Organization of American States (OAS) has announced it will dispatch international observers to monitor Brazil's general elections in October. The observers will observe polling stations and hold discussions with Brazilian officials during the first and second election rounds. The agreement for the observers to enter Brazil was signed on Thursday (August 13) by the secretary-general of the Brazilian Bar Association, Albert Ramdim, and Brazil's representative to the organization, Benoni Belli.
The European Union, Mercosur Parliament, Inter-American Union of Electoral Organizations, League of Arab States, and Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries have also pledged to send international observers. This is the fifth time the OAS has sent representatives to Brazil, and observation work has been ongoing since the 2018 presidential elections.
In the 2022 presidential election, the OAS determined the elections proceeded in an orderly and normal manner.
