	Elections Canada On-Line \| About Elections Canada
		For the October 15, 2005, constitutional referendum and the December 15, 2005, general elections, the IMIE process was similar to the one used for the January 30 elections: expert assessors evaluated key areas of the electoral process, and the Steering Committee drew on these assessments when evaluating each electoral event.
		The 2005 Iraqi electoral cycle proved to be an important learning experience for all involved and showed that the IMIE can be a model for future electoral assistance missions – in addition to international observers.
		Beginning in early August 2005, the IMMHE established a secretariat in Port-au-Prince, deployed long-term observers throughout the country, and is working in co-operation with other international observers and domestic observation groups to monitor election preparations in Haiti.
