In both countries, TI national chapters actively worked to bring transparency to the political campaign as well as on the election day. The TI chapter in Paraguay, Transparencia Paraguay, promoted the signature of ethic pacts among candidates, which made them account for the financing of their campaign. It also established a complaint mechanism, where citizens could report abuses to the electoral code. In preparation for the election day, the chapter trained hundreds of young citizens to be in the polling agencies to oversee the election.

In the Dominican Republic, the TI chapter Participación Ciudadana, presented a set of four reports on electoral observation during the campaign. The reports aim to raise awareness and provide citizens and all the actors involved in the process with information in order to contribute to having an informed vote and a non violent process.

On the election day, the chapter observed the election through a network of more than 4000 volunteers and hundreds of civil society organisations throughout the country. For the first time they also carried out monitoring in some cities in the US, Puerto Rico and Spain in order to assist and stimulate participating members of the Dominican Republic’s diaspora in the decision making processes.
