Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what plans the Government has to establish UK electoral observation missions to monitor elections in other countries after the UK has left the EU.

​UK officials and private citizens take part in electoral observation missions organised by international organisations such as the OSCE, Commonwealth and the EU. The Government does not organise such missions unilaterally. After the UK has left the EU, UK officials and private citizens will continue to take part in electoral observation missions organised by international organisations of which the UK is a member or is otherwise eligible to participate.
