The mission, which took place from May 15 – 18, noted the high level of mistrust coupled with the spread of misinformation and disinformation and hate speech against political opponents, suppression of the political and civic space, poor quality of the Voter ID Card, and low voter education on the electoral systems as some of the challenges characterizing the political environment.
