Ireland's current International Election Observation Roster of 197 volunteers, facilitated by my Department, is in effect from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2023. Roster members are available to participate at short notice in Election Observation Missions organised by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the European Union (EU).
