Election education project

July 2005, February 2007

 

As it is often mentioned, the Roma community suffers from a low level of civil engagement, in particular in the election process. They still suffer from a profound delusion that democracy, as practiced in Albania today, doesn’t allow them to elect the representatives of their choice to follow a specific policy, and on the other hand candidates and political parties do not keep their promises.

The MNSH objective is to raise participation of Roma population in the election process, to make them aware that they could use their right to vote for prospering their community and families, and to make them think about ways of solving their problems.

In these conditions the biggest challenge is to ensure participation of Roma during the election campaign. MNSH worked out the project which aimed to persuade voters how important it is for their voice to be heard and to work to increase voters' responsible attitudes and awareness in order to guarantee participation in election. 

The objective of the campaign is to inform the Roma population in Shkodra and Lezha what rights they have, and to increase their participation in election on the Election Process. 

Parts of the objective are:

-Informing Roma voters in Tejbuna, Liria quarter (Shkodra) and Lezha on their rights and voting procedures;

-Explaining about democracy elements through voting process;

-Rising awareness on importance of participation and involvement.

Through groups of trained and well organized volunteers, MNSH carry out an informative campaign which aim to inform the Roma about the rights they have during elections and what are the profits of participating in the election process.

Roma voters are informed about rights they have and voting procedures and the majority of Roma population who has the rights to vote participates in the elections.

 

 

  Projekti i votimeve  

Korrik 2005, Shkurt 2007

 

Siē ėshtė theksuar shpesh, komuniteti Rom vuan nga njė nivel i ulėt i pėrfshirjes qytetare, nė veēanti nė lidhje me votimet. Ata vuajnė nga njė zhgėnjim i thellė ofruar nė vitet e demokracisė, pasi ata nuk lejohen tė zgjedhin pėrfaqėsuesit sipas zgjedhjes sė tyre dhe nga ana tjetėr kandidatėt nuk i mbajnė premtimet e tyre.  

Objektivi i MNSH ėshtė qė tė rrisė pjesėmarrjen e popullsisė Rome nė procesin elektoral, t’i bėjė tė vetėdijshėm qė kanė tė drejtė ta pėrdorin votėn e tyre pėr prosperitetin e komunitetit dhe tė familjeve tė tyre, dhe t’i bėjnė qė tė mendojnė pėr mėnyrat e zgjidhjes sė problemeve tė tyre.

Nė kėto kushte sfida mė e madhe ėshtė qė tė sigurojė pjesėmarrjen e Romėve gjatė fushatės sė zgjedhjeve. MNSH ka punuar me kėtė projekt me qėllim qė tė bindė votuesit se sa e rėndėsishme ėshtė qė tė dėgjohet zėri i tyre dhe tė punojnė qė tė rrisin pėrgjegjėsinė e votuesve pėr  tė marrė pjesė nė zgjedhje.

Qėllimi i fushatės ėshtė qė tė informojė popullsinė Rome nė Shkodėr dhe Lezhė mbi tė drejtat qė ata kanė dhe tė rrisin pjesėmarrjen e tyre nė Procesin e zgjedhjeve.

Pjesė tė objektivit janė:  

-Tė informojnė votuesit Rom nė lagjet Tejbunė, Liria (Shkodra) dhe Lezhė mbi tė drejtat dhe procedurat e votimit;

-T’u shpjegojnė elementėt e demokracisė pėrmes procesit tė votimit;

-Tė rrisin vetėdijen mbi rėndėsinė e pjesėmarrjes dhe tė pėrfshirjes.

Pėrmes grupeve tė vullnetarėve tė trajnuar dhe tė organizuar mirė, MNSH drejton njė fushatė informuese qė ka pėr qėllim tė informojė Romėt mbi tė drejtat qė ata kanė gjatė zgjedhjeve dhe cilat janė pėrfitimet e pjesėmarrjes nė procesin e zgjedhjeve.

Votuesit Rom informohet pėr tė drejtat qė kanė dhe pėr procedurat e votimit dhe pjesa mė e madhe qė ka tė drejtė tė votojė merr pjesė nė zgjedhje.
