Abstract
Simply put, electoral fraud does not only happen on election day. This article explores whether current methods of providing electoral support, employed by international donors, are effective in promoting democracy. The article presents several key limitations in today's international election observation missions, which may, if not rectified, undermine parts of the rationale for utilising observers. In addition, this paper identifies five types of technical assistance with different mandates that will impact how an Election Commission designs, plans and implements various components of the electoral process. The study highlights several risks, challenges and solutions associated with technical assistance.
