A team of observers from Commonwealth countries including Sierra Leone and Kenya are watching Britain's polling stations in the organization's first election-monitoring trip to a developed country.
The 11 observers from the Royal Commonwealth Society are in Britain to watch how Thursday's national election is conducted and suggest how it can be improved.
The charity's director, Danny Sriskandarajah, says Britain has been sending election observers all around the world and there was no reason for election monitoring to be a "one-way street."
He said his team is concerned about party funding, voter apathy and flaws in Britain's electoral system.
The Commonwealth, headed by Queen Elizabeth II, is a loose grouping of 54 countries aimed at promoting democracy.
