(27/10/2010) |
A wide gap has emerged in proposals for a new election law, with Frelimo arguing the present law is largely OK, while civil society wants substantive changes.

Election law revision proposals
(25/10/2010) |
The parliamentary Commission on Public Administration, Local Power and Media (Comissão da Adminstração Pública, Poder Local e Comunicação Social) is considering a complete revision of the electoral laws. In September 2010, two civil society groups and the main parties submitted detailed proposals for change, which are posted here. These are discussed in the Mozambique Political Process Bulletin 47 (in English). All the proposals, in Portuguese, are posted on the Portuguese side of this website. Click portuguese above.

(25/10/2010) |
The law on political party funding is apparently being violated, according to a study by CIP (Centro de Integridade Pública, Public Integrity Centre) published in September as part of a regional study by Transparency International, Zimbabwe. Below are the study (in English) and the report on Mozambique (in Portuguese).

EU observers criticise elections
(15/02/2010) |
The 28 October elections were well organised and peaceful and largely guaranteed universal suffrage, reports the European Union Election Observation Mission. Fundamental freedoms and rights of assembly, expression and movement were respected.
Despite this, the broader electoral process was weakened by the lack of transparency by Mozambique’s electoral authorities, by an unlevel playing field during the electoral campaign and by limitations with regard to voter choice at local level. As in 2004, irregularities in counting, tabulation and aggregation were observed.
The EU Observer Mission also found:
+ Electoral "legislation is unclear and at times contradictory."
+ "Filing a complaint is de facto nearly impossible at every step of the electoral process."
+ "The presence of political party representatives at CNE maintains an unlevel playing field and an unequal access to information."
The full report is a very large file: 3.25 MB.
