IFES - International Foundation for Electoral Systems

Published purpose

The project aims to create a more transparent and systematic election process in Ukraine during the 2012 parliamentary elections while empowering members of civil society to exercise their role as providers of information regarding electoral fraud and misconduct. Project components include providing legal advice and support to the Chesno campaign, a civic movement aiming to improve citizen knowledge about candidates. The project also supports the Central Election Commission in Ukraine in developing training curricula for election commissioners. In addition, the project trains party representatives, electoral candidates, civil society organizations, journalists, lawyers and judges on how to use the electoral dispute resolution system in Ukraine.
