UNDP Moldova Democracy Programme/Elections (further referred as Programme) is a multi-year institutional development programme that supports strategic development of the Central Electoral Commission of Moldova (CEC) with the aim to strengthen the capacity of electoral administration to deliver professional, transparent and efficient electoral processes. Overarching goal of the Programme is to improve the democracy in Moldova through modernization of the electoral processes, through free and fair elections representing the will of the people and which are fully in line with the international standards and best practices. This objective is to be reached through support in development of the capacities of electoral administration on central, regional and local levels to deliver inclusive and professional elections improved and gender and human rights mainstreamed. Whilst there are concrete results achieved by now in the area of human rights, a number of issues remain to be addressed further. There is need for further work on extending the number of polling stations equipped with access ramps for wheelchair-bound voters and with facilities for voters with vision impairments. Moreover, there are certain groups of Moldovan citizens, such as persons with mental disabilities, who do not have the right to vote based on a final court decision. CEC requested Programme support in development of electoral policies in line with international human rights standards. As a result of this activity the CEC will also be able to provide proposals to electoral legislation and other policy documents to improve access for disabled persons to elections. In this regard, CEC, with the support from a local NGO, has worked on the development of a draft “regulation on access to electoral processes”, establishing concrete measures for ensuring accessibility of the electoral processes for voters with various types of disabilities. Now in final stages of the development, the draft document is to be distributed for internal consultations among the relevant CEC department and further adopted by CEC without delays. Scope of work
The Program intends to contract an experienced legal consultant (“Consultant”) to provide the CEC with the necessary support in finalization of development of the new regulation on access to electoral processes and its alignment to the current normative framework. Requirements for experience
