“Voter registration is passive, with the nationwide electronic voter register maintained by the CEC. Voter lists were compiled based on voters’ place of residence and printed by the Akimats (local administration). Akimats receive data on voters from institutions contributing to the population register and the information collected through door-to-door visits. The information is further submitted to the CEC for verification against the nationwide voter register after which the CEC sends the data on duplicates and other errors to the respective Akimat for further clarification. The role of the CEC is limited to verification of entries submitted by the Akimats thereby rendering it dependant on the quality of the work performed at the local level.”
