International Election Observation Program (IEOP)

International Election Observation Program (IEOP) is an international event where election officials are invited from all over the world to introduce their election management systems and methods, and share the knowledge and information among them. It also includes observers from civil society, academia, other governmental or non-governmental bodies, and international organizations. It has become integral to the electoral process across the world. Through the program, observers will have the opportunity to identify strengths and shortcomings on an electoral process, and improve their own system.

 
It is usually conducted in a way that foreign election officials observe on-site election fields including campaigning, and voting and counting processes. Unfortunately, due to the spread of COVID-19 for the last couple of years, in case of the Republic of Korea, online observation for the 21st National Assembly Elections in 2020 and the 20th Presidential Election in 2022 took place instead.
