The Moldovan League for the Protection of Human Rights (LADOM) will monitor the elections of the governor of Gagauz-Yeri, scheduled for December 3, 2006. LADOM chairman, Paul Strutzescu, announced that organization’s experts will supervise the electoral campaign in the Gagauzia region and will collect data concerning potential violations of the electoral legislation which will eventually become public. Observers will also verify the method of the formation of electoral list and will organize instruction courses for the members of the local electoral bureaus. On December 3, the voting day, 160 observers, instructed by LADOM will be sent to nearly 70 polling places from Gagauzia where they will supervise the voting process, also effectuating the parallel vote counting. Paul Strutzescu declared that during the campaign, a hot-line will provide information for the Gagauzian voters. Also, as he asserts, LADOM in collaboration with local radio stations will broadcast a series of instructive programs of electoral character. LADOM is supported in its idea of free election promotion by the Balkan Trust for Democracy, Eurasian Foundation, National Endowment for Democracy Organization and OSCE. Recently, one of the opposition leaders of the region Mihail Formuzal, declared, during a press-conference, that the falsification of the elections started from the very first day of the electoral Campaign. He asserts that the Central Electoral Commission members’ designation was made with infringements. He also mentioned that the list of the CEC members was not publicized to the deputies at least 5 days before, as the legislation provides. More than that, not all regions’ representatives, as well as opposition forces were included in the Commission’s lists, though the members of the Comunists’ Party were included, a fact which violates the legislation.
