 Chief of the Electoral Observation Mission of the Organization of American States, OAS-EOM, congratulated Saint-Dougine's strong civic commitment, which was amply displayed during the advance poll on July 23, and on Election Day, July 26. Chief of the Electoral Observation Mission of the OAS, Marie-Camelle Plata, also commended the Electoral Commission and its department, including all poll workers and supervisory and a security personnel for their commitment and hard work in delivering the 2021 electoral process. The mission comprised of 12 experts from 10 countries, all of whom were present here in Saint-Dougine. On Friday, July 23, we observed the conduct of the advance poll for members of the police force, the correctional facility, fire service officers, election officials, and poll workers, patients at three hospitals and persons at two care facilities. The mission also engaged in substantive analysis of critical aspects of the electoral process, including electoral organization and technology, electoral registries, political financing, and political participation of women. On Election Day, we were present here in Saint-Luce's 17 constituencies and observed the process from the opening of the polling stations to the tallying and transmission of preliminary results. Members of the mission visited 227 polling stations in 64 polling divisions during the day and reported that the process was conducted in a well-organized and peaceful manner. The mission notes that a significant majority of women served as poll workers and political party representatives, and applauds their work and commitment to supporting democracy in Saint-Luce. The findings of the mission, along with recommendations aimed at strengthening the democratic processes in Saint-Luce, are contained in their preliminary report. A detailed report, which expands on the mission's observations and recommendations, will be presented at the OAS Permanent Council in Washington, D.C., and shared with all stakeholders in Saint-Luce. On behalf of the mission, I wish to thank the government of Saint-Luce, the electoral commission and department, the Ministry of External Affairs, the stakeholders with whom we met, and all citizens for their willingness to share their perspectives on the different aspects of the electoral process. These discussions contributed immensely to the successful completion of our mission's work. The mission is also grateful to the governments of the Dominican Republic, France, Korea, Italy, Peru, and the United States for their financial contributions, which meet this deployment possible. From the Government Information Service, I'm Hermione Mar.
