The process of checking the accuracy of the voters’ lists could be one of the major problems in the pre-term elections. The Law on the election of People’s deputies of Ukraine provides that voters’ lists are established on the basis of lists from the previous election (in present case the parliamentary election of 26 March 2006). The law on the voter register adopted by the Rada in March 2007 will enter into force on 1 October 2007. According to the information received by the Commission the voters’ register does not exist yet. The current provisions might not be enough for the electoral commissions and other competent bodies to carry out the work of checking and up-dating the voters’ lists. However, if the competent authorities, including the Central Electoral Commission address the issue in a timely manner this problem can be solved before 30 September 2007.
