This paper seeks to examine international assistance in domestic elections that has rapidly grown since the end of the Cold War. The phenomenon reflects the international environment in which state sovereignty does not hinder the spread of liberal values across borders. The first section of this paper describes the historical development of international electoral assistance in the modern age and identifies its rapid rise in the last decade. The paper next examines various international organs of electoral assistance ranging from electoral assistance bodies of the United Nations to major international NGOs. Finally, the paper provides a theoretical discussion on international electoral assistance. In so doing, it argues that the rise of international electoral assistance in the post-Cold War signifies the values of peace, human rights and democracy that are combined as a set of international normative standards.
