Coalition 'Pod lupom': Polling station committees one of major problems

FENA Senka Trgovčević

SARAJEVO, March 14 (FENA) - Representatives of the Coalition “Pod Lupom” presented today in Sarajevo the Analysis of Election Irregularities in BiH between 2006 and 2016, which showed that the polling station committees remain one of the weakest links in the electoral process.

It is, therefore, necessary to make fundamental changes and concrete improvements regarding the appointment and training of members of polling station committees.

“We recommend that the polling station committee is presided by an independent person with experience in conducting elections or with a good knowledge of the election process and appointed by the local election commission,” said co-author and coordinator of the analysis Danijel Stjepanović.

The analysis contains information on complaints, objections and appeals to the election process in BiH and information on investigations and penalties related to irregularities and criminal acts in the elections for a period of 10 years.

It was found that more than 1,000 complaints related to the election day and the appointment of members of polling station committees.

Jelena Tanasković-Mićanović, the coordinator for public policies of the Coalition "Pod lupom", expressed her hope that the proposed amendments to the BiH Election Law adopted by the House of Representatives would soon be adopted by the House of Peoples of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly.

This would, according to her, remove the intentional manipulations with the results of the elections.
