The preliminary report from invited Organisation of American States election observers was positive regarding the "civil and peaceful" election and its high turnout.[5] The observers noted minor bureaucratic problems, and recommended greater enactment of campaign finance regulations.[5] The observers also noted that women were under-represented in the list of candidates (9 of 48) and elected representatives (4 of 15).[5]
