Following an invitation by the authorities of the Republic of Moldova, on 10 October 2016 the European Network of Election Monitoring Organizations (ENEMO) established an Election Observation Mission (EOM) to observe the Presidential Elections that were conducted on 30 October and 13 November 2016. 

The EOM of ENEMO for the Presidential Elections 2016 in Moldova was limited in composition and scope. The mission covered some crucial aspects of the process, such as, conduct of election administration bodies, with focus on the Central Election Commission (CEC) and Precinct Election Bureaus (PEB); legal framework; handling of complaints and appeals; media conduct; as well as the overall socio-political background in which the elections took place. The EOM consisted of six core team members, based in Chisinau. On 30 October ten teams of short-term observers (STOs) were deployed to observe Election Day, while the run-off Election Day of 13 November was followed by four teams of short-term observers in Moldova and five short-term observers in polling stations established in three countries abroad.

The Election Observation Mission of ENEMO for the Presidential Elections 2016 to Moldova was financially supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, within the Accountability Fund Program; and the Black Sea Trust, a Project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
