Cybersecurity Considerations for the Democratic Process for Latin America and the Caribbean

This document is intended to raise awareness among OAS member states on the processes surrounding and sustaining our democracies. More specifically, it is intended to focus attention on the cybersecurity implications that may affect the processes that support democracy and, in particular, the electoral processes. Even if the actual democratic processes are viewed as technology-free, it is of utmost importance to consider cybersecurity in the broader context of the democratic landscape.
