Moreno sostuvo además que este tema será parte de las conversaciones que espera sostener con autoridades colombianas durante su visita a Bogotá. “Esa es una de las propuestas que voy a plantear directamente. No podemos ignorar la realidad de regiones donde los votantes están bajo amenaza”, señaló.

El senador republicano Bernie Moreno, representante del estado de Ohio en el Senado de los Estados Unidos, participará como observador electoral internacional en las elecciones presidenciales de Colombia del próximo 31 de mayo, tras una invitación formal del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) y la Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil.

Senator Moreno served as an election observer for Colombia’s presidential elections on May 31st and the runoff elections on June 21st.
Assessments
The commitment was to propose/urge Colombian authorities to consider annulling or disqualifying results in areas with armed-group voter intimidation, not to achieve actual annulment. Verified evidence quotes Moreno himself saying he wanted to encourage the Colombian government and CNE to consider voter intimidation as disqualifying ballot results in insecure areas. Verified evidence also confirms he served as an observer for the May 31 and June 21 Colombian presidential elections during his Senate term, supporting same-term timing and material candidate attribution.
The promise was to propose that Colombia annul election results in areas where armed groups intimidated voters, not necessarily to secure adoption of that policy. The evidence says Moreno, while serving as a U.S. senator, publicly stated he would propose this to the Colombian government and National Electoral Council during the May 2026 Colombia election context. That directly satisfies the promised action in his same Senate term.
