What subjects should be observed and monitored by an election organisation? The answer is sooo many.
In short, there are 3 stages of election observation: pre-election, election day, and post-election. All of them are in unity, that's why they are called as 'cycle', because it doesn't stop in one point, as long as that the country is still democracy country.

Here is the subjects of observation that should be observed and monitored by an election monitoring organisation. It is similar like the calendar of activity of Election Management Bodies that financed by the State.
KIPP Indonesia do almost all the activities mentioned here especially in 1998 - 2000. At that time, KIPP Indonesia had 300,000 volunteers across the country. I myself managed more less 4,000 volunteers just in KIPP Jakarta Barat, a district in the capital, in 1999.
In 2009, KIPP Indonesia monitored the presidential election and legislative election in 14 Districs and fielded 700 observers. KIPPDA or Branches of KIPP at the provincial level do the observation of pre-election accordingto the schedule of local election in their own respective region.
