# Defend Our Democracy is holding election observer training today in Lenasia, Johannesburg, ahead of the local government elections. The session aims to equip community observers with skills to monitor elections and promote transparency, accountability and compliance with electoral laws. Participants from areas including Lenasia, Diepkloof, Meadowlands, Orlando and Protea Glen will be trained. The organisation says the training forms part of a national roadshow, with sessions planned in Gauteng, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape during September and October.
