The European Union has deployed an Election Observation Mission (EOM) to Malawi, in response to an invitation by the country's Electoral Commission. This is the third time that the European Union is observing elections in Malawi (previously in 2004 and 2009), which reflects the EU's long term commitment to supporting credible, transparent and inclusive elections in the country.

The EOM will be tasked with observing the Presidential, Parliamentary and Local elections scheduled on 20 May 2014 and takes place within the context of a wider, structural and continuous dialogue and co-operation between the EU and Malawi in the field of strengthening democratic processes and good governance (and notably includes the National Initiative for Civic Education NICE).
