October 1, 2017

In 2017, Timor-Leste conducted two national elections: Presidential Election on 20th March 2017 and Parliamentary Election on 22nd July 2017. In order to assess the accessibility of these elections to persons with disabilities, Ra’es Hadomi Timor Oan (RHTO), supported by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), and the UNDP LEARN Project, conducted disability access monitoring for these two elections. The support from IFES was funded by Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), while the support from UNDP LEARN was funded by the Government of Japan and the Government of the Republic of Korea.
