The Central Election Commission (CEC) has tried to liberalize the campaign and to get involved as many as possible voters in the election. The statement was made on Friday at a round table by the president of the League for the Defense of Human Rights (LADOM) Paul Strutzescu, Info-Prim Neo reports.
“The CEC has taken into account most of the LADOM's recommendations,” Strutzescu said. According to him, it enabled more voters to go to polls. He has meant that the citizens being abroad on the vote day will be able to vote with their passports, while functionaries of the Moldovan embassies abroad will not have the right to check the legality of the citizens' being there and even the citizens with expired ID cards will be able to vote.
Referring to the complaints submitted to the CEC by the political parties, Strutzescu has said 14 complaints were rejected out of 24, and this speaks either about the parties' representatives lacking legal education or will, or about their not willing to argue their decisions.
The representative of the Venice Commission in a team of electoral observers showed herself surprised that the Moldovan NGOs had submitted no complaint during all this period.
The round table was also attended by international observers accredited for the Moldovan elections and was organized by the Civic Coalition for Free and Fair Elections - “Coalition 2009.”
