The European Union’s chief elections observer said yesterday that the lack of voter’s education is the main concern for European observers covering the elections in the Sudan.
Veronique De Keyser, a member of the European Parliament, will lead more than 130 observers from 22 countries to assess the presidential and legislative elections in April.Ms. De Keyser said yesterday while presenting the EU observers mission that if voters do not understand really what is the meaning of the vote this could be the major trap, the major pitfall, Reuters reported.
Ms. De Keyser said the EU formed the observer mission as soon as they received an invitation from Sudan’s National Elections Commission.
She said their team could not cover every part of Sudan, Africa’s largest country, but that it would be able to detect any massive attempts at fraud.
Voting will last three days from April 11 to 13 and the result is expected on April 18.
