From the media report till now, I say YES ! I believe on highly respected international observers like Jimmy Carter, who have observed more than 70 election in conflicting regions like Nepal in the past. Well, I go with majority of what international observers and media says. They have been in vigilant since the election began.

Although the election seems to be fair and clean now, some people here have raised that the maoist intimidation and fear before the election are the resons for win. Lets see how the people greet after Maoist win (if they win). If its because of fear, then certainly it will come up gradually. Intenational communities will certainly put their words on this. Then we can say the election is not fair.
