This course is made to assist the participating States of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in training their potential election observers. It is open to everyone interested as it also aims to explain the election observation methodology of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).

The course is available in both English and Russian. Since English is the working language of OSCE/ODIHR observation missions, the Russian-language course is available primarily for the purposes of familiarization with the OSCE/ODIHR methodology and participants of the Russian-language course do not receive certificates.

Электронный Курс для Наблюдателей БДИПЧ ОБСЕ

Self enrolment

Этот электронный курс предназначен для поддержки государств-участников ОБСЕ в подготовке потенциальных наблюдателей за выборами. Курс открыт для всех заинтересованных, так как также имеет своей целью объяснение методологии наблюдения за выборами БДИПЧ ОБСЕ. Курс содержит три компонента, которые охватывают как широкие методологические вопросы, так и практические аспекты работы краткосрочных и долгосрочных наблюдателей. 

Исходя из того, что английский является рабочим языком миссий БДИПЧ ОБСЕ по наблюдению за выборами, русскоязычный курс предназначен, в первую очередь, для ознакомления с методологией наблюдения за выборами БДИПЧ ОБСЕ, и участники русскоязычной версии курса не будут получать итоговый Сертификат. 

Для того, чтобы пройти этот курс, щелкните по его названию и самостоятельно зарегистрируйтесь, используя ссылку “Enrol me in this course” и введя ключ регистрации "БДИПЧ".
