NORDEM also provides Norwegian observers to international election observation missions all over the world. NORDEM’s election observers have extensive observation experience and are trained in election observation methodology and international standards for democratic elections. NORDEM’s two decades of experience from international election observation is regarded as a resource, also in election related activities in Norway. NORDEM develops election related trainings and hosts delegations from countries in political transition that wish to learn from the Norwegian elections. Amongst the receiving organizations of NORDEM personnel are the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the European Union.
