The intergovernmental OSCE organization is considering whether to send a monitoring mission to the upcoming German election after speaking with each of the parties, Spiegel reports. Spiegel reported on Monday that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is deciding whether to monitor the September 24th German national election. The Interior Ministry and Foreign Ministry also spoke with the intergovernmental organization, which in part works to ensure fair elections. During the 2013 election, they sent two experts to evaluate changes that had been made to laws concerning campaign finance. Members of the parliamentary assembly have attended elections in the past in other member states, including in the US and UK.
