(OAS) and the European Union (EU) arrive in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place

organizations stated that their missions would work with impartiality and

The Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), the government body that oversees
elections in the country, invited both missions. TSE magistrate
Eugenio Chicas of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN)
party pointed out that the arrival of so many international observers
highlights two realities: the electoral process “still has many
irregularities,” and the left is poised to win the presidency,
generating international interest in the elections.</span></font><font

presence of international observers, including the OAS and EU, but
maintains that many of the electoral reforms passed last year by the
TSE—which is dominated by right-wing magistrates—and the
TSE’s refusal to make the voter registry available to all parties
have opened up the process to the possibility of fraud. FMLN presidential
candidate Mauricio Funes, who leads by as much as 16 points in recent polls
