National Consultant to assist with preparation of feasibility study and operational plan for field level data verification of voter lists (voter list audit) in MoldovaVacancy Number: Pr13/00409
Background
The Central Electoral Commission of the Republic of Moldova is a permanent, independent electoral management body. Following a period of political upheaval and three unanticipated national electoral events, the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) has now adopted a strategic plan for the period 2012-2015. UNDP has provided electoral support to Moldova since 2008. Since 2012, this support is provided through the UNDP Moldova Democracy Programme (Programme), with the support of the Government of Sweden. The Programme supports the CEC to:
Voter registration has been identified as an area of concern in the Moldovan electoral process for many years. Responsibility for voter registration is diffused across the Moldovan public sector at both the national and the local level, and neither the process nor the responsibilities are well understood or resourced. The CEC has made a concerted effort in recent years to improve the technical base of the voter registration process and to work with other public sector partners. It has also commenced more systematic analysis of the lists compiled by local public administration. The recent compilations revealed an unacceptably low level of list quality in terms of both accuracy and completeness. The Programme assisted CEC with development of the first Moldovan Roadmap on Voters Registration. Some of key recommendations of the Roadmap refer to the need to develop procedures for the voter list database audit (VL DB Audit) and the need for voter list data verification on the field level. The Democracy Programme has agreed to support the CEC in its efforts to implement data verification on the field level. As a first step the Democracy Programme will contract a team of two consultants (one lead international consultant and one national consultant) to undertake feasibility study and develop possible operational plan for conducting a field level voter list data verification of a sufficiently representative sample. For detailed information, please refer to Annex 1 – Terms of Reference. Scope of work
The Programme intends to contract a National Consultant to provide the necessary support to the International consultant on the development of feasibility study with potential operational plan for conducting the first field level data verification of voter lists in Moldova. The National Consultant shall assist the International Consultant to prepare a feasibility study with possible operational plan for conducing field level voter-to-list/list-to-voter data verification of a sufficiently large sample to identify possible shortcomings in the voters lists and define further action plan for their resolution.
