Commonwealth of the Independent States - Election Monitoring Organization

The mission of the organization to monitor the elections CIS-EMO has decided to continue to monitor the election process in Ukraine.
"We have decided to continue to monitor, we will not turn off long-term mission in the next few months," - said General Director of CIS-EMO Alexei Kochetkov.
He explained that the observers are going to keep track of the situation in the five constituencies where CEC found it impossible to establish the reliability of the election results. In addition, according to Kochetkov, CIS-EMO can continue to monitor and after the situation in the troubled districts somehow resolved.

Republican and Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott made a strong warning to the mission of international election observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and promised to arrest them if they come to the polling places closer than 100 feet.
Such restrictions make the election monitoring almost impossible, said the head of international observer mission in Ukraine Alexey Kochetkov.
«I fully support the position of director of the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) of OSCE, who strongly condemned the demarche of G. Abbott, - continued Kochetkov, - The US, like the other OSCE participating states, took on certain obligations, neglect of which is a mockery of the very concept of democracy. At the same time it calls into question the activities of American election observers in other countries», - he stressed.

A mathematical model for evaluating the legitimacy of the electoral process in Ukraine was presented by the international monitoring mission of CIS-EMO in Kiev hotel "Hyatt". According to observers, their colleagues must move from the emotional-evaluative assessments of elections to the language of numbers and accurate data.

International Election Monitoring Mission supervising the elections of People’s Deputies to Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on October 28, 2012, is conducted by the CIS-EMO International Election Monitoring Organization, which consists of people who have the recognized international authority in the field of maintaining voting rights and freedoms of citizens on the basis of European and world standards.
