Even though Parliament has officially cancelled June 5 elections, the State Election Commission is continuing with its regular activity. The current format of the Commission has support from the local parties, as well as from the international factor and it will continue to do its job undisturbed.
The SEC informed that they are quite certain that the Electoral Roll is purged , but they exppressed readiness for checking it again in order to clear all doubt.
SEC said that the field and administrative checkup proved that the electoral roll is regularly updated, but said that if necessary it can be checked again.
The revision of data from several state institutions so it can be compared to the Electoral Roll is not ruled out. It is almost certain that there will not be another field checkup.
According to information from SEC, it is becoming clear that the Electoral Roll does not contain so called phantom voters, as was claimed by SDSM.
What could be corrected is the issue about the 100,000 voters, who according to SDSM need be erased because they have valid driving licenses, but they are not registered in any other data base. They can be put in a separate graph. These voters are in fact currently holding temporary jobs abroad, but most of them return home for elections.
The last changes to the electoral roll, which were made so that Parliament can be call on, should encompass further specifications about the electronic access to the Electoral Roll. More specifically, this will allow for SEC to provide electronic access to the Electoral Roll, so there will be options for reporting irregularities and misuses.
The Electoral Roll, published by SEC, has 1,817,691 registered voters.
