Conferinţa internaţională.
NOILE TEHNOLOGII ÎN FORMAREA ŞI UTILIZAREA LISTELOR ELECTORALE. EVOLUŢII ŞI PERSPECTIVE
munication allowed us to exchange views, to discuss contentious issues that affected
positively the monitoring process and led to the assessment convergence
of electoral campaigns. For example, our assessment coincided with the assessment
made by the OSCE Election Observation Mission about the parliamentary
elections in Moldova.
We appreciate this cooperation and are ready to maintain it and develop.
Turning to the theme of the conference, I would like to note that the universal
suffrage is one of the most important criteria for democratic elections assigned
in the Convention on standards of democratic elections, electoral rights and freedoms
in the CIS countries and it means that every citizen on reaching the legal
age has the right to elect and be elected to public authorities.
The accuracy of voter lists compilation largely determines the implementation of
this right, in our opinion, it removes the possibility for manipulation of the votes
and falsification of results.
At the same time every citizen has to have right to obtain information for inclusion
in the voters list, to clarify this information, to ensure its completeness and
accuracy, to appeal against not including in the voters list.
Studying this issue in the CIS countries during election campaigns experts from
CIS Election Observation Missions draw attention to the following requirements:
• voters lists should be open and available for inspection and verification;
• availability of well-defined positions: who has the right to inspect, how it is
done and in what period, and who can make changes in voters lists, how and
in what period of time they may be amended;
• opportunity to appeal against the improper inclusion or exclusion from the list
and dates of its consideration.
And today I can say that these requirements are met. Voter’s registration is based on
the electoral legislation that rules out the elements of discrimination against citizens.
Officials took steps to ensure the quality of voter’s lists. Mostly in all countries the
notices indicating the place and time of voting were sent to voters in advance,
door-to-door rounds were made. At the same there is specific character of work
with voter’s lists in each State.
