““The United States, like all countries in the OSCE, has an obligation to invite ODIHR observers to observe its elections.”

I am an election judge in Galveston County.

Here is the relevant passage of the Texas Election Code (Chapter 33):

WATCHER DEFINED. In this code, “watcher” means a person appointed under this subchapter to observe the conduct of an election on behalf of a candidate, a political party, or the proponents or opponents of a measure.

Sec. 33.002. APPOINTMENT BY CANDIDATE.

Sec. 33.004. APPOINTMENT FOR WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. (a) A group of registered voters may appoint watchers on behalf of a write-in candidate in an election in which a declaration of write-in candidacy is not required to be filed.(b) To be eligible to participate in the appointment under this section of a watcher for a precinct polling place, a person must be a registered voter of the precinct. To be eligible to participate in the appointment under this section of a watcher for an early voting polling place, the meeting place of an early voting ballot board, or a central counting station, a person must be a registered voter of the territory served by that facility.(c) The minimum number of voters required to make an appointment under this section is the lesser of:(1) 15; or(2) five percent of the registered voters of the appropriate territory as determined from the list of registered voters to be used for the election.

Sec. 33.005. APPOINTMENT FOR ELECTION ON MEASURE. (a) In an election on a measure, watchers may be appointed by the campaign treasurer or an assistant campaign treasurer of a specific-purpose political committee that supports or opposes the measure.

So, here is the deal. If you come within 100 feet of my polling place, and you are not a voter, someone assisting a voter, an election worker, an appointed poll watcher, a federal official associated with the Justice Department, or an individual whose normal job assignment is within 100 feet of the polling place (the janitor at the polling place, for example, or a teacher in a school being used as a polling place) I will ask you to leave. If you do not leave, I will call the police and have you arrested.

I do not see “UN election observer” within the list of approved individuals. So, unless one of these UN observer gets appointed as a poll watcher by a political party, a candidate for office on the ballot, or a group supporting or opposing a ballot initiative — and they adhere to laws governing poll watchers — I will ask them to leave the polling place and will call the police if they refuse to leave or attempt to reenter it.

Simple. No muss or fuss.
