Democracy Resource Center Nepal (DRCN) observed the House of Representatives and Provincial Assembly Member Elections 2022. Based on the observation of 118 observers at 83 local levels in all seven provinces, this preliminary report has been prepared covering pre-election activities, the voting process, and post-voting activities.

Democracy Resource Center Nepal (DRCN) observed the local-level elections held on May 13, 2022. It mobilized 70 observers in 54 local levels across all seven provinces for the observation. They observed the political environment, election preparation, candidate selection and nomination, election campaigning, voter education, the voting process, and vote counting. Due to a lack of adequate training among polling staff, and errors in voter lists and identity cards, the voting process was disorganized. Similarly, many votes were invalidated due to the lack of voter education programs, and complicated ballot paper. Vote counting was slow as there was a shortage of counting staff and a lack of understanding about the counting process among them.
