The CEC leadership appreciated the openness for cooperation, noting that the activities of strengthening the communication with the Diaspora, set forth by IRI, fit the priority commitments of the Commission: improvement of the electoral legislation and improvement of the electoral processes through the implementation of alternative ways of voting. These goals set by CEC have the aim including to facilitate the participation of Moldova’s citizens from abroad in the voting.
