NOILE TEHNOLOGII ÎN FORMAREA ŞI UTILIZAREA LISTELOR ELECTORALE. EVOLUŢII ŞI PERSPECTIVE
about every citizen of Moldova who is entitled to vote, each person who has
reached the age required for being allowed to vote, regardless of their whereabouts.
So, even if the person is temporarily abroad and did not leave to permanently
live outside Moldova, that person appears in the register. The persons who
went to live permanently abroad follow a different procedure, they are obliged
to withdraw their residence visa from Moldova. All citizens who have reached
18 years and have their residence or domicile visa in Moldova will be included in
this register. The data for this register will be imported from the State Register of
Population, this being mentioned in the concept and law.
One of the topics widely discussed after the elections of 5 April 2009 referred
to the fact that the State Register of Population provided, through the Central
Electoral Commission, less reliable data throughout the country. Was this proved
or was it only at the level of political statements, certainly, that is the topic of
another conference, perhaps even international. It is undisputed that the CEC
will pay increased attention and will also ask the State Enterprise “Registru” to
provide us with data of the highest quality. We are not the body that creates those
data. There is the State Register of Population, we will only use the data from
that register and will turn them into an electoral register which will be managed
by the CEC. In the State Register of Voters the information about each citizen will
have a restricted amount of data. If the State Register of Population contains an
extensive amount of data, including data on the quality of the founder, shareholder,
family, family relationship, then the State Register of Voters will only have a
few essential fields, such as: name, date of birth, ID number, personal code and
home or residence address. That is all. The CEC wants to know only these data.
The final version of the State Electronic Register of Voters will give every citizen
the possibility to verify, through the Commission’s website, the data about themselves.
The principle of individuality in the verification of data will be observed. I
want to note that, once launched this electronic service, the CEC will be able to
generate centralized voter lists, based on this register. If in the past the voter lists
were compiled by mayor’s offices and then submitted to PEBs, the bottom-top
principle being used, now the proposed scheme will be different, from top to
bottom, the lists will be taken from the State Electronic Register of Voters and
passed throughout the regions, to be verified by electoral authorities, candidates,
accredited observers and voters directly.
Generating voter lists in a centralized way, from the database of the Central Electoral
Commission, is the first stage of this State Automated Information System
