FINAL REPORT REGARDING THE IMLPEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT ON MONITORING OF THE COMPILATION AND VERIFICATION OF THE ELECTORAL ROLLS FOR THE 29 JULY 2009 EARLY ELECTIONS

Executive Summary

(first phase: June 27 – July 6, phases two and three: July 6 -16, 2009)

The subject of the electoral rolls, of their comLPete and correct compilation, was one of the major concerns expressed by a series of NGOs, mass media and political parties from the Republic of Moldova, after the parliamentary elections of April 5. To clarify the advancement and the quality of these processes in terms related to the early elections of July 29, 2009, the Moldovan Institute for Human Rights (IDOM) imLPemented a project on electoral rolls compilation and verification. Sixty one observers of the organisation were present in 33 Local Public Administrations (LPA) from the Republic of Moldova, following their activities, as well as their interaction with the electoral structures, with the aim of compiling of an electoral roll that was supposed to reduce the worries about its quality, expressed after April 5 elections.

Reuse of April 5 rolls – a controversial matter: In the first phase of the project (June 27 – July 6, 2009) IDOM monitored the compilation of the electoral rolls by the LPAs.

The situation in the following localities was monitored:

- Two : 1. Chişinău 2. Bălţi - Eight Districts: 1. (Soroca town and villages of Voloviţa, Stoicani, Căinarii Vechi) 2. Ştefan Vodă (Ştefan Vodă town and villages of Popeasca, Antoneşti, Carahasani) 3. (Nisporeni town and villages of Soltăneşti, Bălăureni, ) 4. (Drochia town and villages of Chetrosu, Ţarigrad, Sofia) 5. (Cahul town and villages of Pelinei, Crihana Veche, Larga) 6. Hînceşti (Hînceşti town and villages of Lăpuşna, Stolniceni, Minjir) 7. (Taraclia town and villages of Albota de Jos, ) 8. Dubăsari – only villages of Coşniţa, Doroţcaia, Pîrîta (from Transnistrian region controlled by the central public administration) - As well as one village from the Găgăuz Autonomy (for comparison) 1. Copceac village

IDOM observers followed the activities of the LPA, as well as interviewed public servants from those administrations, to evaluate if they use the April 5 lists (essentially compiled on the basis of the information provided by the Ministry of Information Development (further on - MID)). The rolls prepared for April 2009 elections were often considered to be excessively big/inflated, to the proportion of the demographic situation in the country. An eventual growth of the electoral rolls compiled for the summer early election, would have increase the number of questions regarding the quality of the electoral rolls. In this respect, the reuse of the April 5 rolls presented, from the outset, a controversial subject.

Page 2 of 85

The Early Findings Report presented by IDOM on July 17, 2009, established that out of 33 monitored localities, only three did not use the April 5 rolls (Soroca town, in Albota de Jos village from and in Pîrîta village from Dubăsari District). In the rest of localities the April 5 rolls were used. In other words, the rolls formed on the basis of the data sent by the Ministry of Information Development/MID, which rose suspicions and concerns after April 5 elections, were reused.

It was presumed that these rolls should have been corrected with the help of additional registers, however, again from the MID (according to the formula 2+ and 2-), namely: of those persons who have reached the age of 18 meanwhile, from the April 5 elections, of those who registered with a new place of residence (newcomers), of those who left their place of residence, as well as of those deceased. We will bring to the attention the fact that in the effort to rectify the rolls, the LPA used these registers, as well as the information from the civil status office (in 7 localities), while in 17 others, in villages, the local household registers were used.

Door-to-door verification – diverging instructions: An efficient verification would have presumed door-to-door visits by the LPAs. IDOM observers reported that the CEC did not recommend such verification in all 33 localities. In 18 monitored localities the CEC did recommend the door-to-door verification, while in 14 localities the LPAs affirm that they did not receive such recommendations.

The observers, however, reported that such door-to-door verifications were done by the LPAs in 14 localities. The information presented to the monitors was, however, contradictory. Thus, in some cases there was information according to which the LPAs had to follow the CEC decision no. 2555 from June 9, 2009 (including on verification), while in other cases the LPAs were suggested that door-to-door verification is inefficient because of the lack of time.

Although the CEC representatives suggested the door-to-door verification in the 18 localities from those 33 monitored, only seven LPAs that received such instructions, conducted the verification:

- - Cahul Town (CPRM) - Bălţi Town (CPRM) - – village of Bălăureşti (Independent) - Ştefan Vodă District – Ştefan Vodă town (CPRM) - Chişinău City (Buiucani City Sector, Centru City Sector) (LP) - Nisporeni District – Nisporeni town (LP) - Taraclia District – village of Albota de Jos (SDP)

At the same time, upon local initiative, other seven LPAs from those who reported that they did not receive direct instructions form the CEC, also decided to perform door-to- door verification:

- Taraclia District – village of Cairaclia (CPRM) - Găgăuz Autonomy - village of Copceac (although only to the homes of those who left for abroad) (Independent) - Hînceşti District – Hînceşti Town (PD) - – village of Voloviţa (CPRM) Page 3 of 85

- Dubăsari District – village of Doroţcaia (to verify who needs a mobile ballot box) (CPRM) - Hînceşti District – village of Minjir (CPRM) - Soroca town (PNL)

Thus, IDOM observers reported that, as it was mentioned above, the controversial lists of April 5, compiled on the basis of the information sent by the Ministry of Informational Development, are used again. However, additional lists are also used, again coming from the MID (lists sent according to the 2+ and 2– formula).

LPAs had reduced capacities for the task. The responsibility for national elections rolls quality can not be placed only on LPAs: Another important conclusion from the Early Findings Report was that the LPAs had, in the majority of cases, low capacities/resources to compile and verify the electoral rolls. We consider that, in such circumstances, placing the responsibility for the accuracy of the electoral rolls only on LPAs shoulders is not justifiable. The elections in the Republic of Moldova decide not only the percentage through which the political parties assume the act of governance, while they also decide the quality of the governance, as well as ensure the legitimacy and credibility of a government. Under these circumstances, the responsibility for the compilation of quality electoral rolls, which are the basis of a free and fair electoral context, represent a subject of a national interest. Thus, it is the responsibility of all involved actors to ensure correct electoral rolls – be that the LPA, central authorities, as well as electoral structures in the country, starting with the CEC.

The second phase of the project – the verification of the lists by the LPAs continued: During the second phase of the IDOM monitoring project, both LPAs and CEC were supposed to continue the verification of the voters’ rolls. Thus, according to the electoral calendar approved by the CEC, IDOM verified the activities in the following two periods of time: a. The period of electoral rolls additional verification: July 6-14, 2009 b. The period in which the rolls are placed at the disposal of the electoral bureaus at the polling stations: July 14-16, 2009. The date of July 16 was the last IDOM observation day, after which the process of verification was supposed to be done by other organisations, be it international, non- governmental or political.

It was found that the additional rolls verification was done in 19 out of 33 monitored localities, in the period of July 6-14, 2009.

However, in 14 LPAs such verification, stipulated by the electoral calendar, was not done: • in 5 cases the motivation was that the rolls are already precise • Stefan Vodă District - village of Antoneşti (Independent), • Stefan Vodă District - village of Carahasani (Independent), • Dubăsari District - village of Doroţcaia (CPRM), • Hînceşti District - village of Minjir (CPRM), • Nisporeni District - village of Bărboieni (Independent) • In 6 cases – without us having the information • Nisporeni District – village of Bălăureşti (Independent), • Taraclia District - village of Cairaclia (CPRM), • Soroca District - village of Stoicani (AMN), Page 4 of 85

• Village of Căinarii Vechi (Independent), • - village of Sofia (SDP), • Cahul District - village of Larga (CPRM) • 3 cases – other motives, including, in one case, lack of human resources.

Persons who left for abroad are sometimes excluded from the lists, deceased and those with changed residence are present on the lists: To monitor the electoral rolls verification process, IDOM observers tried to have a series of interviews with the following persons, present in the electoral rolls, by the groups: those who were born ahead of 1940, those who reached the age of 18, those who were registered at the same address with several other persons with a different name, at random, etc.

Persons who left for abroad We found that in some localities, he persons who left for abroad are not included in the electoral rolls – such is the case of the villages: • Dubăsari District – village of Doroţcaia (CPRM) • Dubăsari District – village of Pîrîta (CPRM) • Cahul District – village of Larga (CPRM). Or, there have been indications to exclude them: • In the village of Albota de Jos (SDP) from Taraclia District, a CPRM candidate gave instructions to the local party staff to exclude those who are abroad from the electoral rolls. However, as the observer reports, such changes were not operated by the LPA. • In another case – of Copceac village (Independent) from the Găgăuz din Autonomy – we have learned that the authorities of this region have initially ordered the exclusion of those who left for abroad from the electoral rolls, while later we were informed by the international observers that such a decision was annulled. However, our observers found that in the monitored locality those who left for abroad were excluded from the rolls, as the situation was reported on July 16, 2009.

The deceased persons on the lists Taking into account the modest number of observers in the Moldovan capital (12), these have managed to find, on the rolls of 5 polling stations, ten deceased persons, including some who died 4-5 years ago, which might seem an insignificant number. This figure, however, will be treated in the context of the fact that IDOM observes interviewed only 30 persons who were born ahead of 1940 in the entire Chişinău City – birth ahead of 1940 being one of the interview selection criteria. Ten cases, out of 30 questioned, represent an extremely worrying figure.

We shall also mention that the information was collected by a relatively reduced number of observers, however from the perspective that such a number is sufficient to perform a qualitative analysis of the voters’ rolls compilation and verification. The situation in rural areas is better on the matter of deceased persons on the lists. At the same time, taking into account the number of voters who live in the urban areas, we expected to find the most noteworthy cases specifically in urban areas, despite the fact that the LPA intensively worked to rectify the rolls, done on the basis of the April 5 data. Page 5 of 85

Cases of persons with withdrawn registration who are still on the electoral lists in initial locations: We found that in nine polling stations out of 293 within the Chişinău City (excluding Moldovan Embassies, which are also registered as in Chişinău), there are 1854 persons with the withdraw residence (including graduates of the universities), unidentifiable persons, or wrong addresses, still on the electoral rolls.

The data analyses only of the processes of compilation and verification of the electoral rolls, based on the MID information, as well as the time pressure in the electoral process, and, respectively, on the observation effort, still makes us presume that the veracity of the electoral rolls is a disputable one, also indicating to the problems related to the MID databases. We observe, from the perspective of the analysis of the process of compilation and verification of the rolls that after the clean-up efforts by the LPAs, in the cases when even local registers were used to adjust the rolls done on the bases of MID information, the qualitative indicators noted by the IDOM observers, place under doubt the quality of the MID databases and respectively of the rolls for the early elections scheduled for the July 29, 2009.

The comparison between the figures regarding the number of the voters written down in the April 5 electoral lists and those written down on July 14, 2009, in the localities monitored by IDOM, denotes our worry, according to which the current lists are even bigger than those from the spring elections: 33 localities monitored by IDOM April 5, 2009 July 14, 2009 ~660.677 voters ~666.010 voters

According to our observations, in the localities where the compilation of the rolls was done “from zero” the number of voters written down on July 14, 2009, on the rolls was, usually, smaller than in localities where April 5 lists were reused.

As for the positive appreciations of the electoral rolls compilation and verification process, our observers reported that there have been no serious and multiple infringements in the compilation of the rolls in almost half out of the 33 monitored localities from the Republic of Moldova, where IDOM observers were active.

The third phase – the verification of rolls was not completely done according to the legal requirements and in due time: Another important element of the electoral process is the opportunity of the voters to verify directly the rolls. We will mention in a positive light the initiative to use modern technologies, such as Internet, to simplify the procedure of verification, by the Chişinău authorities.

In this context we will mention, with satisfaction, that the advertisement was used regarding the necessity to verify the electoral rolls by the voters themselves. Observers from 21 localities of the Republic of Moldova have sent reports, which inform us that the CEC, as well as the local authorities, disseminated advertisement spots through TV, Page 6 of 85

Internet, and radio. The LPA themselves have informed the population about the citizens’ right to verify the rolls, and in a case (Ţarigrad village, Drochia district – CPRM) 200 booklets were spread for this purpose. We support the CEC initiative to send informative SMS regarding the citizens’ right to verify the electoral rolls. However, we consider that people’s educational process regarding this right should be propagated in a comprehensive way and it should be a sustainable one.

We have received data from nine localities that the population was not informed, while people from Chetrosu village (PD) Drochia district, Crihana Veche village (AMN) Cahul district and Copceac village (Independent) Găgăuz Autonomy were informed by the LPA about this right when they cam to visit LPAs with other problems.

In order to properly verify these rolls, however, it is necessary to display them, or, at least, to ensure their presence at the Polling Stations Bureaus (PSB). Thus, in over 60 PSBs from 19 localities these rolls were received in due time, set by the electoral calendar – July 14, 2009. At the same time, this did not happen in some polling stations, sometimes in the same localities where other polling stations have displayed the rolls. Thus, the arithmetic sum to obtain the number of 33 localities is not applicable. Similar cases when the PSBs did not receive the rolls were reported in 40 cases in 19 localities. In the majority of cases the reason was either that the PSB has not been established yet, or the rolls were received later. According to the electoral calendar there was as an overlapping, which affected the process of rolls reception – July 14 was the deadline for both the PSB establishment, as well as for the electoral rolls display.

Though the Electoral code stipulates the electoral rolls public display, the IDOM was informed that previously there were cases when these rolls were vandalized, this being an obstacle for their display in safe conditions – there are two copies of these rolls printed, the PSB having only one copy which later was to be used at the elections. Thus, we ascertain that in 23 localities, about 80 PSB did not display the rolls, the motives being: a. The rolls are at people’s disposal in the PSB buildings without being displayed – in the majority of cases b. The PSB late constitution c. Lack of place for their display d. The bureau is closed e. The rolls were received with a delay f. The rolls were not received g. Other reasons

Thus, the rolls were displayed before July 14 in eight localities and in nine localities – after July 14, the motive being the same as already mentioned above – the rolls were received with a delay from the CEC/LPAs.

Recommendations: • It is necessary to strengthen the legal framework to ensure free and fair elections.

Page 7 of 85

• The LPAs need trainings regarding the update of rolls not only in the electoral period, as only a continuously done update, long before the elections, will diminish the risk of incorrect lists emergence.

• The education of people regarding the subject of electoral rolls verification should continue with the participation of all interested actors – electoral, political and civil society authorities, and with the international community assistance. The last one has remarked itself very positively in the Republic of Moldova, an example to be followed by the other national actors.

• It is necessary to strengthen the LPAs capacities and to offer the required assistance to compile the electoral rolls in the future. In this way, it is not only the LPAs responsibility to compile the voters’ rolls – it is necessary to establish an efficient coordination and collaboration between the national, local authorities and electoral structures. The elections of the Republic of Moldova are a subject of national interest and of democratic standards implementation, which ensure the legitimacy both of the elections and of those elected alike.

• A group of observers and experts designated by the governing and opposition political formations, by the independent civil society should be instituted, next to CEC, to ensure the transparency and verification of the automation of the electoral process.

• Under usual circumstances, the electoral rolls should be placed for public display not less 20 days before the Election Day, in order to allow the verification of the accuracy of their compilation.

• Random verifications at the national level are necessary, to verify the respect of the legal provisions that stipulate that the public display of the electoral rolls is obligatory.

• It is necessary to bring to the successful end the implementation of the project regarding voters’ electronic register. Central authorities should assume full responsibility for this process, so as the budgetary resources to be directed in a wise manner and, for example, not for the pompous reconstructions of the some buildings in times of economic crisis. General elections represent a national interest and have precedence ahead of other activities in the electoral period.

Observers’ remarks, comments / suggestions, and recommendations

1. Data are still being introduced until now (the ID number and series ) Hînceşti district - Minjir village (CPRM)

2. insufficient training of the clerks in charge of the electoral rolls compilation ( Chetrosu village (DP)-Drochia , Căinarii Vechi village (Independent)-Soroca );

3. The absence of streets names in the villages has harden the electoral rolls compilation procedure (Crihana Veche village (OMA) );

4. The delay of the CEC data regarding the electoral rolls (many localities– see where the PSB was not established in due time);

5. There were no LPAs clerks charged with the voters rolls compilation (Larga village (CPRM) );

6. The students were not verified (Căinarii Vechi village (Independent) );

7. Controversial information between that of the LPA and that of the citizens’ Găgăuz Autonomy, Copceac village (Independent) – the observer reports that the LPA affirms that it has done the verification during the door-to-door visits, however the interviewed citizens affirm that no LPA clerk has contacted them.

8. The lack of any mechanism to verify the inclusion in the electoral rolls of the people who migrated within the country or abroad TARACLIA district, Taraclia town (Patria-Rodina) – the observer ascertains that it is quite simply to verify the inclusion or exclusion from the rolls of the deceased persons and those who have reached 18 y. o. The difficulty appears in the cases of people who migrate, change their residence registration, their name (after getting married), etc. The observer considers that, meanwhile, door-to-door visits are the most efficient way of verification.

9. The human resources insufficiency, as well as the poor population information TARACLIA district, Taraclia town (Patria-Rodina) – A poor citizens’ information about their voting rights is notable. For example, the interviewed persons are not aware of their right to verify the electoral rolls, or they did not know about the opportunity to get a vote certificate, mass-media is in the hands of 2-3 parties, etc.

In this sense, the observers recommend to organize a large information campaign to inform the citizens about their electoral rights. Another observers’ remark was the raise of the number of the observers who monitor the electoral process.

10. The interference of the governing party members in the electoral process TARACLIA district, Albota de Jos village (SDP) – the observer ascertains that on July 15, a CPRM candidate has ordered to the LPA to exclude the persons gone abroad from the rolls.
