November 17, 2010
On June 27, 2010 Kyrgyzstan adopted a new constitution via nationwide referendum. Introducing a new or revised governing charter was nothing new for the Central Asian republic—they have seen many since their independence in 1991.

This week IFES will be conducting a pre-election assessment in Ukraine in advance of the October 31, 2010 elections. The delegation, led by electoral experts Gavin Weise and Ben Goldsmith, will be reviewing Ukraine’s system of election administration, which largely flows from the adoption of a new local election law this July. Specifically, IFES expects to examine the system of nominating, appointing, and training election officials, voter registration, public education, and electoral dispute resolution.
