The Federal Republic of Dorvik will be providing assistance to Kurageri in order to ensure that the elections of the president and parliament occur smoothly, DNS Worldwide has learnt. Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Dorvik Esther Fischer and the Executive Council of Kurageri have been in close contact for some time now, and so the Federal government in Dorvik has now officially released a plan to send an 'electoral aid package' to Kurageri. This will include an entire system of overseers at both polling stations and counting halls, with hundreds of overseeing electoral staff to be temporarily designated to Kurageri in order to make sure that Kurageri gets off on the right democratic foot for its 4370 elections.
Dorvish Minister for Foreign Affairs Esther Fischer made clear in a statement to the press that Kurageri's 'peaceful transition to a stable democracy' is now a top priority of the Dorvish Foreign Ministry, and that they are willing to invest massively into the infrastructure necessary to conduct a 'highly efficient and clean election and result'. The move is seen at home as a major step forward for Dorvish interests worldwide, seen in the government as an opportunity at building international relations and internationally as a way for democracy to be spread to every corner of Terra. Fischer said that she was 'excited about the prospect of a new, prospering nation in Dovani - given that they have been unfairly maligned as the "third world"'.
The team sent to Kurageri will be made up of hundred of highly-trained electoral overseers, trained in local languages and major world languages. They will man alongside native staff the polling booths firstly, and will also provide Dorvish-trained security to ensure that the election is safe - as well as independent overseers of ballot boxes to ensure no corruption. Secondly, the staff will be overseeing the counting of votes by both machine and hand to make sure the results come in as is fair. Ballots will first be counted by natives and then again by Dorvish staff to ensure no discrepancies are detected. Discrepancies will result in another Dorvish staff count until the number is confirmed. Fischer is 'certain this will lead to fair results'.
