The Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES) has raised concerns over the integrity of the recent presidential and legislative elections in El Salvador. CISPES, which has observed every presidential election in the country since 1992, stated that the elections were marred by systemic failures and anti-democratic maneuvers by the government. They also indicated that the elections did not meet international standards for being free and fair. CISPES's accredited international elections observers, present in El Salvador and voting centers in US cities, have released a statement to the Salvadoran press, asserting that the electoral system, once known for its transparency and fairness, has been compromised.

"CISPES is horrified to witness how El Salvador's electoral system, which had previously achieved admirable transparency and fairness, was so easily co-opted, and set up to fail so spectacularly." #Elecciones2024Sv #EleccionesElSalvador2024 https://t.co/FnJmJ6PUK9
Incompetence or fraud? The result is the same: El Salvador’s elections results have been irrevocably compromised.
