Until August 20 the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) received electoral lists in electronic form from local authorities and diplomatic missions for 1333 polling stations out of total 2035. According to the calendar of actions for organizing and conducting the republican constructional referendum, the deadline for carrying out that action expired on August 13, 2010. CEC assures it will publish the electoral lists on website after receiving them and correcting the errors detected in some of them.

Central Electoral Commission (CEC) has rejected the appeal filed by the Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova (PCRM), which qualify as illegal the Prime Minister’s indications, given to law enforcement and control bodies, to apply necessary measures regarding those representatives of public local administration who will be involved in actions boycotting the referendum of September 5, 2010. CEC considers that actions of the Head of Government were legal when he took precautious measures to avoid violations against political and constitutional rights.

Upon the request of Moldovan Ministry of Defense, CEC established the service card as an identification document allowing the prescripts to vote.

At the same meeting, CEC approved the financial report on income and expenditures of participants in electoral campaign for republican constitutional referendum of September 5, 2010 in the amount of MDL 2,333,781.00 as income and in the amount of MDL 2,212,958.60 as expenditures, according to the situation on August 16, 2010.

• Social-political Movement “Ravnopravie (Equality)”;
