By publicizing the findings of its research on politically biased election observation, EPDE contributes to the protection of elections against biased outcomes. 
This brochure includes two reports by Anton Shekhovtsov on biased observation of the March 2018 Presidential elections in the Russian Federation and 
the annexed Crimea. Additionally, we are pleased to be able to publish here the 
recommendations that EPDE experts gathered in March 2017 during a Round 
Table on biased election observation in the European Parliament.
