FEFA is committed to ensuring free, fair and transparent electoral processes in Afghanistan, and believes that broad participation of civil society in such processes is of great importance in realizing the above values and strengthening democracy. Since its inception, FEFA was able to effectively observe the Presidential elections in 2004 inside the country and abroad (Pakistan), and the Parliamentary and Provincial council elections in 2005 in Afghanistan. Most recently, FEFA has been conducting observation of voter registration process for the upcoming elections in Afghanistan. Voter registration project was launched by Independent Elections Commission in Afghanistan in October 2008 and is due to be ended in February 2009 with the aim to update the eligible voters’ list. Voter registration project is being implemented into four phases throughout the country. To observe the update voter registration process by Independent Election Commission, FEFA deployed at least 791 observers throughout Afghanistan. This observational mission covered at least 50 % of the registration centers and mobile teams in all over the country. FEFA produced regular reports of its observation in every phase of the process. |
