On March 27, 2004, the Association
of Election Officials in Bosnia and Herzegovina (AEOBIH) held its
Fifth Annual Assembly.
Besides selection of the Association
bodies, one of the most important aims of this Assembly was determination
of the role of the Association referring to the elections, which
will be held in October 2004.
Taking into consideration the fact
and the role of the AEOBiH that gathers members of the Municipal
Election Commissions (MEC) from the whole BiH, and the estimation
that the Association has given significant contribution in quality
preparation of previous elections, membership of this nongovernmental
organization think that AEOBiH may give contribution and support
to the Election Commission of BiH for the elections, which are to
be held in October 2004, within its possibilities, in a couple of
ways:
* Through involvement of the AEOBiH
Legal Council in the work on changes and amendments of the Election
Law of BiH and sub-regulation acts.
* Through involvement of members in observation electoral activities,
in order to evaluate work of the electoral bodies in impartial way.
* Through involvement of the Association members in activities of
the Counting Center in accordance with the Election Commission.
* Through engagement of people in order to update voter registers.
* Through engagement of certain number of the trainers of polling
station committees, who were earlier engaged in the training and
whose work was evaluated with the high rates. Referring to that,
and taking into consideration the fact that some MECs are not in
possibility to conduct training of polling station committees, there
is possibility for MECs, which have planned and allocated funds
for the training of Polling Station Committees, to engage the trainers
of Polling Station Committees through the Association. It is important
to emphasize that their engagement could facilitate the work of
MECs a lot, which could dedicate more attention to other, numerous
and important tasks that they have.
