The Council of Europe and the Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of Moldova are jointly organising a conference on “The role of voters’ lists in ensuring fair and transparent electoral process” in Chisinau on 5 and 6 October.

Being the second post-election conference from the cycle of elections 2014 – 2015, it will be an opportunity to evaluate Council of Europe’s and other donors’ assistance to Moldova in consolidating democratic processes in order to adjust it as necessary.

Participants to the conference include elected candidates to mayor and councilor positions, members of Parliament, the government and the judiciary, as well as representatives of the Central Electoral Commission, the election administration, the media and civil society.
