Taking into consideration that the issue regards huge authorizations whose proper execution is of extreme importance for achievement of the democratic election principles on which the election system of the Republic of Macedonia is based and aiming at achievement of a serious approach towards this issue and creating perfect conditions for taking over the Voters list, this process has de facto not been completely finished. All state authorities involved in this process are in continuous cooperation and coordination, in order to provide conditions for the State Election Commission to be able to normally manage the Voters list. Considering that the taking over of the Voters list also means take over of established procedures, responsibilities and relations whose implementation requires preconditions that will provide successful further management, a necessary step to be taken is systematization of an organization unit within the frames of the State Election Commission that will be carrier of the activities regarding the list. This activity has been completed, that is, a Sector with 19 departments has been systemized: a department in the seat of the State Election Commission and 18 regional departments with regional offices dispersed in all municipalities at the territory of the Republic of Macedonia. Next step is hiring staff for these organizational units. The eighteen regional departments of the State Election Commission will be equipped with 73 employees from the Ministry of Justice. This is an excellent solution because the working duties of these employees have been related to the ongoing update of the Voters list and achievement of the right of the citizens in certain municipalities to vote, thus this shall provide continuity both in authorizations and management with human resources. The procedure of taking over the employees is coming to an end, thus in shortest period possible the staff capacity of State Election Commission will be strengthened with 73 new civil servants, whose exclusive authorizations will be related to the running of the Voters list and achievement of the right to vote.

For clearing the list, the employees in all regional departments shall work on field by the means of checking the citizens who have invalid identification documents and comparing the actual situation with the personal data of citizens with the situation registered in the Voters list. If a certain discrepancy is found between these two situations, it shall be immediately resolved by correcting the information registered in the Voters list. This synchronization of the actual situation with the data in the Voters list is already completed by carrying out a pilot-project in the municipalities Vinica and Gostivar. The pilot-project is successfully completed in these two municipalities and according to defined situation no big discrepancy has been noticed between the actual and the formal situation with the personal data. In expectation of transfer of the personnel from the Ministry of Justice to the State Election Commission it is important to start with preparations for implementation of training of the staff from the Sector for Voters list and urgent preparation of a training program. In that direction, the Sector for education of the State Election Commission should: • Develop a plan for orientation of the new employees: joint work with the Department for human resources that includes carrying out a survey for the regional departments for summary of their activities, providing the new personnel to have an insight in the work of SEC, time schedule of elections and administrative procedures of SEC; • Start with accreditations of more facilitators, who should be identified within SEC’s employees; • Identify an expert trainer for elections who will help in the preparation of materials, operational plans, budgets and deadlines for training of the newly formed Sector for Voters list. The materials should mandatory be prepared in cooperation with the Sector for education of SEC; • Provide the materials for preparing work training in two modules: introduction in the administration of election bodies and registration of voters; • After completing the materials for training, they should carry out workshops for training intended for the new personnel of State Election Commission. State Election Commission already passed the starting phase of preparing such project for trainings and preparing the plan and program for that phase. Taking
