NOILE TEHNOLOGII ÎN FORMAREA ŞI UTILIZAREA LISTELOR ELECTORALE. EVOLUŢII ŞI PERSPECTIVE
when gaps in constitutional interpretation have become an obstacle to the development
of society, we should consult the people, to know and obey their will.
Since proclaiming its independence, Moldova has made consistent steps towards
improving the organization of elections at different levels, using international
experience and new technologies to develop the existing system. However, the
events of recent years, particularly those from April 7, 2009, have shown that
there is still much to be done so that the right of each voter is respected and the
population is sure that elections were free and fair, as the OSCE standards, which
Moldova is obliged to comply with, provide.
I should mention that, by virtue of historical circumstances and Soviet heritage,
here in Moldova suspicions of fraud are extremely high. After 70 years of elections
with no alternative, so-called “elections”, imposed by communist technologies
and extensively used between 2001 and 2009 in our country, the CEC has to
do more to restore public confidence in elections as a tool to exercise people’s
sovereignty.
Voter lists, their accuracy, excluding the dead souls, ensuring that every voter will
express only one vote, combating electoral tourism – these are just a few topics
that election administrators have to solve.
This is why I consider today’s Conference theme “New Technologies in Compilation and
Use of Voter Lists. Evolutions and Perspectives.” as being an extremely important one.
And most important is that we all promised that in the future elections we will have
voter lists, a register of voters, and we look forward to what the Central Electoral Commission,
the citizens, the Parliament and the Government have realized – to be ready
for these elections with that electoral register. To persuade the citizens and European
institutions that we and, in the first place, the Alliance for European Integration, want
to have free and fair elections and, most importantly, legitimate elections.
And not to ever henceforth doubt the power that the voters delegated. For very
much depends on the legality of this power, is it questioned or doubted or is it
not.
Moldova, like never before, needs that the power of voters’ alliance is not questioned
by anyone.
