| The Ukrainian Canadian Congress Observer Mission to the early parliamentary elections in Ukraine on 30 September 2007 is ready to go after months and planning and preparation work. A total of 125 observers will be traveling to different parts of the country to observe the vote on 30 September, including a dozen “medium term” observers who will monitor the campaign in the final weeks leading up to election day.
Although it will not be possible or practical to send observer teams into every oblast of Ukraine, all four regions will be covered by the mission to ensure a representative overview is obtained of balloting procedures in every major region of the country. The mission is being headed by UCC President, Irene Sushko, of Hamilton, while Ron Chyczij of Toronto is serving as the Chief Observer. Emil Yereniuk of Edmonton chaired the mission organizing committee, while Lesia Szwaluk of Winnipeg coordinated the selection committee. The selection of the observer delegation was made by a committee comprised of UCC provincial heads, following a complex set of criteria. Every effort was made to ensure that the mission team make-up was a reflection of the Ukrainian Canadian community. |
