The State Automated Information System “Elections”

(1) The State Automated Information System “Elections” is designed to automate the electoral process in order to:

a) ensure the transparency of electoral procedures and actions undertaken by the electoral bodies;

b) record the participation in voting and to prevent multiple vote;

c) obtain operatively trustworthy data on the voting results;

d) streamline the processes of collecting, distributing and transmitting informa­tion and data on the performed electoral procedures;

e) reduce budgetary expenditure and optimise the use of human resources for the organisation and holding of elections and referendum;

f) develop and standardise the electoral processes related to the conduct of the electoral bodies tasks.

(2) The State Automated Information System “Elections” interacts with other infor­mation systems managed by other public authorities and institutions, consisting of in­formation sub-systems (function blocks) whose technical requirements, functionalities and implementation stages are governed by administrative acts of the Central Electoral Commission, adopted in accordance with the methodological regulatory framework on the creation, management, maintenance, development and operation of the State infor­mation systems, approved by the Government.

(3) In the process of implementing and developing information sub–systems, parts of the State Automated Information System “Elections”, the Central Electoral Commission works with other public entities whose competence and obligation relates to offering in­formation, technical-material, organisational, organisational, regulatory and other types of support, in accordance with the relevant regulatory framework.

(4) Under paragraph (3), the Central Electoral Commission may benefit from the assistance and support of international organisations from the electoral field.
