The EU is placing increasing emphasis on the role of its Election Observation Missions (EOM). In order to streamline the selection of EU election observers, the European Commission has developed an internet roster, which will accelerate this process and make it more transparent, impartial and homogenous.

To be considered as an observer you must be registered on the EuropeAid Roster Please note that ERIS only recruits UK citizens, for those observers in other EU member states, please contact your respective Foreign Ministries.


ERIS has been contracted to manage the Roster on behalf of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and is responsible for the selection of UK long and short term election observers for all EU Election Observation Missions.


Please refer to the NEEDS website for more information on election observation training with the EU.
