The utterances of political leaders can be very revealing. Their commitment to democracy and human rights is most tested when there is a serious challenge to their continued hold on power or when they attract heavy criticism. At such times, the leaders either display political tolerance or they lash out at their critics and opponents. Leaders with repressive tendencies will turn to repression; leaders who respect democracy will not.

This paper advocates that election observation should take note of the issue of gender equality in electoral processes. Women’s full and equal participation and the integration of gender perspectives into all levels of the electoral processes enhance democratic practices in elections and for this reason, election observer missions should be prepared to render an election not free and fair on the basis of significant transgressions of the electoral rights of women.
