Valgobservatører i Pakistan i 2013.
En valgobservatør er en person, der kontrollerer, at et valg sker på en korrekt måde og, at der ikke forekommer valgfusk. Der er oftest tale eksterne personer, som normalt ikke ville have deltaget i det aktuelle valg.
Observatørerne skal kontrollere perioden før valget, selve afstemningen, optællingen af stemmerne, samt publiceringen af valgresultatet. De fleste observatører udsendes i OSCE's regi, men også Europarådet, FN og EU deltager med valgobservatører.

UK aid staff Sakander (centre) and Debbie (right) were on hand as part of the EU's Election Observation Mission to help monitor the voting process.
Chief Observer Michael Gahler said:
“Election day showed the commitment of the people of Pakistan to democratic governance by overcoming militant violence. We saw a competitive process, with twice as many candidates as there were in 2008. While various aspects of the election process have improved, there were still shortcomings. It is important that the framework for elections is further developed, so that democracy is strengthened.”
