Introduction: in article the international sources of the election law and process are analyzed. Purpose: the author compares system of the international sources with intranational for definition of the status of the international election law. Methods: in article are used general scientific (dialectics, the analysis and synthesis, abstraction and a concrete definition) and private-scientific methods of research (legallistic, rather-legal, tehniko-legal). During scientific search the special attention was given to comparative, system methods of research. Results: the author defines a circle of the basic sources, and also a number additional. Additional sources are derivative of the cores. The international sources of the election law have a various validity. So, certificates of the international organisations are recommendatory, but at disposal of legal proceeding ECHR they usually admit sources of law that is characteristic for all certificates soft law. The basic sources have a binding force. International treaties and conventions can be subdivided on their territory of action, on their branch accessory. In this respect the structure of the international sources differs nothing from structure of intranational sources of the election law. Conclusions: so extensive circle of the international sources of the election law, at a sight of the author, testifies that in the international public law has developed such part as the international election law. The international election law, in turn, is subsection of the international humanitarian law as contains the norms providing the maintenance and an order of realisation of suffrages of citizens rights.
