Conduct

There were about 130 official foreign observers in Algeria for these elections, which followed more than a decade of civil conflict. Delegations of observers came from the Arab League, the African Union, the United Nations, the European Parliament and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

An OSCE spokesman said its small election monitoring team observed no obvious electoral fraud, and that the election, while not perfect, was excellent by regional standards and that it is "pretty clear" the results reflected the views of the Algerian people.

However, the Kabyle population boycotted the elections following the Arouch directives, only 10% (officially) of them went to vote.

gollark: ADTs are really great, indeed.
gollark: I'm not sure I would recommend using Amulet, because of it not really having libraries, but CC doesn't have much of a standard library either.
gollark: If you don't write those you can focus on the actual logic.
