In particular, as reported by the regional coordinator of the Civil Network "OPORA" in the Volyn region, Mykhailo Shelep, in Lutsk and the Volyn region a traditional campaign of observing the election process has begun, including the voting day: the course of the election campaign, the presence or absence of compliance with current legislation by members of district election commissions and territorial election commissions, etc. In addition, monitoring of candidates' programs will be carried out for the purpose of further analysis of their compliance with the needs of the community. Information from other regions will also be periodically provided so that the course of the election process in different parts of Ukraine can be compared.
The uniqueness of local elections lies in the fact that they take place without being tied to national elections. According to the head of the Center for Political Analysis and Electoral Consulting, Mykhailo Nakhod, there is a positive side to this, because voters will be able to vote without focusing on Kyiv faces, but directly on representatives of their territorial community... However, according to him, due to contradictions in the legislation, many violations will occur. In this connection, the organization headed by him will offer political forces training for members of territorial and precinct election commissions on issues of current election legislation. In addition, weekly analytical summaries on the course of the election campaign in the region will be prepared and legal consultation will be provided to subjects of the election process and the media. Given the manipulation of voters' consciousness by the results of sociological research, the Center plans to conduct an independent public opinion poll with official publication of the results, offering potential participants to finance it on equal terms.
The Volyn Press Club, as during previous election campaigns, will work in the format of the Independent Public Press Center "Volyn Choice - 2010", issuing a news feed about the activities of subjects of the election process and organizing meetings of journalists with candidates, experts, political scientists, etc., and on election day - in on-line mode.
The regional representation of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine will also work during the election period. As noted by the organization's political analyst Taras Litkovets, "there will be violations, but our goal is that they do not become mass and systemic. These elections are a great test for us of the strength of Ukrainian statehood."
