I’m here to observe and record my observations. Then I pass the data to others and they evaluate it. I’m interested in one thing: to make sure that the people can vote freely for the candidate of their choice. It’s all about the people’s choice. I’m here for one reason – to monitor.

Classification: legitimate

On 29 July 2018, Cambodia held general elections to elect 125 members of the National Assembly, the lower house of the Parliament of Cambodia. Due to the fact that the Cambodian authorities banned the main opposition party in 2017, Western states declined to send any observers to monitor the general elections.
