Elections in Afghanistan
CDACS Executive Director Barak Hoffman and M.A. in Democracy and Governance alumni Austan Mogharabi, Danielle Pearl, Evan Smith, and Miki Wilkins traveled to Afghanistan to serve as election observers as part of a delegation from Democracy International. The purpose of the mission was to evaluate the degree to which the conduct of the election conformed to accepted international norms of election administration, human rights, and democratic representation. The credibility of the elections is vital to the consolidation of democracy in Afghanistan. The Government of Afghanistan's Independent Electoral Commission has not yet announced the results.
