NOILE TEHNOLOGII ÎN FORMAREA ŞI UTILIZAREA LISTELOR ELECTORALE. EVOLUŢII ŞI PERSPECTIVE 39
the CEC involved changes to the process and system of voter registration here
in Moldova. Like many systems in this region, it is one founded upon a passive
residence-based or propriska system, updated by local authorities both annually
and during electoral events. However, in this, the 21st century, the system rooted
in the proposika faces considerable stresses, among them the development of
new institutions of governance responsible for maintenance of the country’s population
records, a growth in citizens’ economic mobility and the ability to more
easily change the place of residence, internal and external migration, and a new
generation of citizens of voting age who are politically active and whose voting
eligibility must be consistently and accurately documented. All of which have proven
a strain on the existing system.
IFES has recently completed a review of the system of registration in Moldova,
and is now talking to the CEC about ways it can work with the local public authorities,
the ministry of information technology and communications, NGOs, and
other key public institutions to reform and improve the system used here in the
upcoming years.
Despite the challenging travel conditions in which this event is held, I am pleased
to see so many countries represented here today. The experience of other countries
in this region who have undertaken successful voter registration reform in
recent years, will be of great interest and value to both the CEC here in Moldova,
and to IFES.
Again, to the CEC of Moldova and honor guests, IFES and I personally thank you
for the invitation, and look forward to a future of cooperation.
