System ELECTIONS 2014 launched to monitor the electoral process
A geographical information
system (GIS) called ELECTIONS 2014 is the modern tool enabling each citizen to control
the work of the militia, and the situation related to crimes in each particular
area, town or village.
The system is
available through the Government web portal and the official website of the
Ministry of Interior.

Throughout the period
remaining till the snap elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which is
due on October 26, the system will provide information for the Ministry of Internal
Affairs from all over Ukraine, in particular information about certain
offences connected with the electoral process. The system is
comprised of the following: - an electronic map
of Ukraine with the constituencies on it; - categories of
reports on offences divided into those with the signs of administrative
violations; those having features of a crime (pre-qualification); and those
in the process of consideration; - registered reports concerning violations, those
received from citizens and marked on the map; - reference information about the articles of the
administrative and criminal codes concerning violations of the electoral
process.
In particular, this
tool will allow reduction of the conscious data manipulation,
or distortion of information by certain media and public organizations, which
often occurs in the absence of the transparent access to the official
statistics. |
