The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has written to its team of Irish election observers, who volunteer for deployment across the world to ensure elections are fair and transparent, seeking volunteers to serve on the U.S. mission in October and November. The department maintains a roster of Irish observers who participate in election missions primarily organized by the European Union and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The department said it had received a request from the OSCE to nominate long-term observers for the mid-term congressional elections in the U.S. on November 6th.
