Recently held elections in accordance with international

The Carter Center has said that recently-held elections in Nepal were in accordance with International Standard.

The Carter Center has today issued a post-election statement detailing its findings related to Nepal's vote counting process.

These findings remain preliminary, pending the announcement of election results and the resolution of any disputes. A final report that includes recommendations to help strengthen the conduct of future elections in Nepal will be published in early 2018.

In its statement, the Center noted that in the counting centers where observers, had sufficient access, counting took place in a manner that was generally consistent with international standards, despite widespread deviations from established procedures.
