NOILE TEHNOLOGII ÎN FORMAREA ŞI UTILIZAREA LISTELOR ELECTORALE. EVOLUŢII ŞI PERSPECTIVE
Honorable audience!
Considering the experience that the Central Electoral Commission gained in the
last years, including the election of April 5, 2009, and organization at a higher level
of early parliamentary elections of July 29, 2009, the Commission undertook a
series of steps to improve both the quality of lists compilation, and their content.
To that end, by decision of the Commission, a new model of voter list (main and
supplementary list) was adopted, three additional special categories were included
in the voter lists:
1) “Name, surname and signature of the PEB member responsible for issuing
ballots;
2) “Total ballots issued;
3) “Additional information”.
The introduction of these categories allowed to protect the data in the lists, excluded
any doubts on its contents, and generally, made the PEB members more
responsible for voter lists’ compliance with the legal requirements.
In the same context, by Central Electoral Commission’s decisions on preparation
and presentation of voter lists, for the first time the procedure to submit them to
the CEC in electronic format was provided, with the purpose of controlling their
quality and providing methodological support to mayor’s offices if necessary. This
procedure allowed to remotely check the quality of voter lists’ compilation in
each mayor’s office, identifying problems and removing them in time, keeping a
record of their submission to the CEC, and closer collaboration with local government
authorities. The centralized analysis of lists showed that the mechanism
proposed by the Central Electoral Commission is correct and efficient.
Also, in this context and to this end the Regulation on the activity of precinct electoral
bureaus was completed, and adopted by CEC decision, with new provisions
establishing that on the day preceeding the election day the precinct electoral
bureau must take a decision on the distribution among the PEB members of the
voter lists that they will be responsible of on election day, the procedure for completing
the new fields, and a provision according to which additional entries in
the supplementary list can be made exclusively by the PEB secretary.
These changes had the purpose to improve the use of voter lists on Election Day
and they improved the electoral process.
