[Victor Kapiyo]

Election observers are basically neutral, impartial and non-partisan
individuals or groups, distinct from party agents, who are present to
witness the various stages of the election process. They independently
monitor elements of the electoral process such implementation of legal
frameworks, process of registration, preparation, voting, counting and the
determination of results etc., and thereafter, report on what was witnessed.

Yes, you can observe where you vote, and other locations too.
