It is envisaged that the Register will initially be created on the basis of the electronic voter lists which were created under the Law on Elections of People’s Deputies of Ukraine as of 1 February 2006. This alone will be a very substantial task and considerable efforts and resources will be needed to install the computer hardware and to develop and test the new software. The task will be made even more difficult because:
(i) the new Register includes data which is not presently recorded on voter lists; and
(ii) a significant number of new entries and amendments to existing data will be required to reflect changes arising since the existing lists were created.
