election monitors
Polling place overseers
Election monitors are individuals or groups who observe voting processes to ensure fairness and legitimacy.
They watch for irregularities at polling stations, verify vote counting, and report violations.
International monitors often oversee elections in new democracies or contested situations: The UN sent election monitors to observe the referendum.
Domestic monitors may represent political parties or civic organizations.
