The data included in the Report were gathered during 18 October – 13 November 2019. The Observation Mission for the General Local Elections of 20 October 2019 from the perspective of the inclusion of persons with disabilities consists of a group of relevant experts, including persons with disabilities, and covers geographically five administrative units (Edinet and Causeni districts; ATU Gagauzia, Balti and Chisinau municipalities). The main findings: - According to the updated data, 20 persons with disabilities stood as candidates at the General Local Elections of 20 October 2019. They have the following profile: 10 women and 10 men, 7 from urban regions and 13 from rural regions, 2 candidates for mayor, 20 candidates for local councilor, and 4 for district councilor, 7 have previously ran, and 3 of them have worked as local or district councilor, 13 ran for the first time, 20 candidates had mobility disabilities (!), 7 of whom were wheelchair users, - 2 independent candidates and 18 on party lists - The following results were registered after the elections: 9 persons became local councilors, of whom: . 7 women and 2 men, . 2 wheelchair users, . 1 independent candidate and 8 on party lists, . 1 public dignitary resigned. - The Observation Mission identified trends to marginalise the candidates with disabilities by placing them on non-eligible positions. In Ceadir-Lunga, a person with disabilities was initially placed by PSRM on an eligible position. Later, the election candidate modified the initial list, placing this person after the 20th position. In Glodeni, after being placed by ACUM Bloc on the last position on the list, a person with disabilities did not agree with the positioning and withdrew from the race. - In addition to the less favourable treatment identified in these cases, the Mission found a systemic breach characterised by the lack of real-time information on the election candidates included in the lists, their initial positioning and subsequent changes, as well as the issue of limited access to the information on candidate profile, which is an important prerequisite for free and fair elections. - Though there is some progress in ensuring the access of persons with sensory disabilities to election information, this access is still limited. The information broadcast by certain TV channels was accessible to the persons with sensory disabilities. Thus, during the monitoring period, TV Moldova 1, TVR Moldova, Media TV Cimislia, BTV Balti broadcast election debates translated into the sign language. The Central Electoral Commission is the only state authority that developed and broadcast videos (1 video (a total of 10 during the entire election period)) translated into the sign language (SL). No election candidate developed and disseminated videos in a format accessible for persons with sensory disabilities. - Political party headquarters, their representative offices in the territory, and the polling stations remain largely inaccessible to the persons with disabilities. The accessibility of access ways and of building entries where political parties are located is poor. Out of 104 offices assessed in 23 towns in Moldova, only 6 are accessible, 15 are partially accessible, and 83 are inaccessible. EOPSs’ accessibility remains a serious unsolved issue on the agenda of public authorities. Accessibility is one of the fundamental principles of the UN Convention and a prerequisite for the ability of persons with disabilities to enjoy other rights in various aspects of life. Accessibility issues were also found in the reports submitted by other organisations that monitored the local elections in Moldova. Most of the observations relate to the physical accessibility of persons with disabilities to the election process and to the insufficient accessibility of the polling stations. - ‘Unghiul’ newspaper offered a quick and effective assessment of the accessibility of 8 polling

  • Moldova 2021 STATEMENT of PRELIMINARY
    ENEMO International Election Observation Mission Early Parliamentary Elections, 11 July - Moldova 2021 STATEMENT OF PRELIMINARY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 12 July, 2021 ENEMO preliminarily assesses that the electoral process, including the Election Day, was conducted mostly in line with international standards. Elections were administered efficiently and in a transparent manner by the electoral administration, although some of the most important CEC decisions put into question the impartiality of some of its members. The campaign was competitive but marred by a number of alleged violations including misuse of administrative resources, illegal financing, and vote-buying. The polarized and largely biased media landscape, as well as the dissemination of false information, have limited the range of political views presented to voters. Delays in complaints adjudication as well as inconsistent decisions on key aspects of the electoral process additionally affected legal certainty. 1 | P a g e On 1 June the European Network of Election Monitoring Organizations (ENEMO) deployed an International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) to Moldova to observe the Early Parliamentary Elections of 11 July 2021. This is ENEMO’s fifth mission to Moldova. ENEMO has accredited a total of 7 Core Team experts and ten long-term observers (LTOs). Due to health risks created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the IEOM is operating partially remotely, with only a part of the Core Team being deployed in the country. LTOs were additionally deployed in Moldova for Election Day, to observe a selected number of polling stations. ENEMO observed the opening of polling stations, voting and counting processes at 158 polling stations. Additionally, up until July 10, the ENEMO IEOM conducted 738 meetings, 274 with election management bodies, 98 with political parties, 58 with candidates, 94 with state officials, 59 with media, 138 with domestic civil society organizations and 17 with other stakeholders, in addition to observing 23 campaign activities (meetings or rallies).

  • Media Monitoring Moldova 1St Round
    Moldova – Local Elections 2007 OSCE/ODIHR EOM’s Media Monitoring prior to the 1 st round of elections Since the start of the campaign on 4 May, the OSCE/ODIHR EOM has monitored six TV stations and nine daily and weekly newspapers. In addition, the monitoring team has undertaken analysis of the main news broadcasts of two regional TV channels and two radio stations. The media unit has been analyzing the programs and daily publications, assessing and producing findings on the time or space allocated to all candidates and parties running in the local elections, as well as the time/space allocation given to all the relevant political entities. The tone of the coverage was also evaluated. Quantitative analysis measures the total amount of time and space devoted to election contestants on news and information programs. Qualitative analysis evaluates the tone in which the relevant political subjects have been portrayed – positive, neutral or negative. While the monitoring focused on all political and election-related programs and broadcasts in the prime time (from 18:00 till 24:00), the enclosed charts show only coverage of relevant political subjects in the prime time news programs. While the monitoring included all the registered political subjects and entities, the enclosed charts show only those subjects receiving significant amounts of time/space. Complete results of media monitoring, including the patterns observed on other TV channels, radios and newspapers, as well as the coverage provided in the run-up to the 17 June second round contests, will be published concurrently with the final report. Explanation of the charts The pie charts show the total percentage of airtime or space allocated to relevant political subjects for each media outlet in the defined period.

However, there are a number of insufficient and unclear regulations requiring to be addressed in order to avoid contradicting interpretations and improve the electoral legislation.

On Election Day ENEMO will observe the opening of polling stations, voting and counting processes. The Mission is headed by Dr. Zlatko Vujovic. This is ENEMO’s fifth mission to Moldova. The presence of ENEMO during the 2021 Early Parliamentary Elections in Moldova will provide the national and international community with elaborate information about the electoral process. Up until 25 June, the ENEMO IEOM has conducted 408 meetings, 132 with election management bodies, 64 with political parties, 37 with candidates, 50 with state officials, 31 with media and 82 with domestic civil society organizations, 12 with other stakeholders, in addition to observing 20 campaign activities (meetings or rallies).

Introduction The 2001 Parliamentary Elections in the Republic of Moldova were conducted in an atmos- phere of extreme social and economic hardship. The average monthly salary in the former Soviet Republic, sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, is around 30 US-Dollar today and the real GDP of the country has fallen to 30 percent of the pre-independence level1. Moldova, which has no natural resources and whose economy is dominated by the agricul- tural sector, has now replaced Albania as the poorest country in Europe. When Moldovans were asked in a recent opinion poll what they fear most, 39 percent of the respondents an- swered ‘poverty’. In the same poll 87 percent stated that their income is hardly enough to cover their minimum expenses and 52 percent said that they would leave Moldova for good or at least for a certain period of time2. Already today over 700,000 Moldovan citizens are said to be abroad. Ten years after independence, Moldova has become a country without much hope, battered not only by economic decline, corruption3 and debt4 but also by an identity crises. The discussions of the early nineties, on whether Moldova is a nation in its own right or simply an offshoot of Romania, have quieted down, but not disappeared altogether.

  • Expert Survey on Party Ideology in Former Socialist Countries, 1990-2017
    EXPERT SURVEY ON PARTY IDEOLOGY IN FORMER SOCIALIST COUNTRIES, 1990-2017 Data set on ideology of ruling political parties and coalitions in former socialist states of Central and Eastern Europe. Data is retrieved from an expert survey which included a multinational panel of 273 experts on party systems of 16 countries. The survey was conducted online in June and July 2017 by Dejan Bursać, researcher at the Belgrade-based Institute for Political Studies, as a part of his doctoral research at the University of Belgrade. The respondents were asked to locate each party on a general left-right scale, considering all aspects of party policy and all relevant information about a party position. Ideology of each party is presented numerically in the one-dimensional policy space, ranging from 0 (extreme left) to 10 (extreme right), for every parliamentary term/government since the first multi-party elections after the fall of socialism (and in some cases, after achieving national independence) in all 16 countries of the sample. Average ideology of every government is presented as a weighted mean of member parties, in relation to their parliamentary strength. This document is accompanied by a separate excel database.
