Trajanov: Macedonia should have a single election unit

The Democratic Alliance proposes Macedonia have a single election unit, because it would be a basis for, as the party say, a way of dismantling the one-party system and strengthen accountability in making crucial decisions and restoring the rule of law.

“Within the framework of the priority reforms which are meant to be implemented by the reformed government, we propose there should be changes in the electoral legislation, as it is very important that it remains proportional electoral model and the Republic of Macedonia to be one constituency. In this regard, we expect a new system for the registration of voters, voting electronically, and the full professionalization of the SEC. If Macedonia is a constituency, the composition of parliament will be a real reflection of the will of the citizens and will greatly reduce the possibilities of violations of electoral rules, parties will have to cooperate and create conditions for responsible governing”, said the President of the Democratic Alliance (DA)Pavle Trajanov, at a press conference.

The Democratic Alliance believe this electoral model opens the opportunity for smaller and newly established parties, as well as possibilities for smaller ethnic communities.
