UCCA seeks volunteer election observers

NEW YORK - The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) is seeking individuals interested in serving as international election observers for Ukraine's upcoming elections. As in previous years, the UCCA will be actively participating in Ukraine's electoral process by hosting a delegation of international election observers for the March 31 parliamentary elections.

The UCCA delegation will be registered with Ukraine's Central Election Commission, and each delegate will have the right to act as an official election monitor. Such accreditation will allow each monitor access to the Central Election Commission's press conferences in Kyiv, polling sites on Election Day, as well as local election commissions throughout Ukraine.

The UCCA will coordinate local travel within Ukraine, arrange for briefings and provide all the necessary election materials for every election observer. However, all expenses related to travel, food and lodging must be borne by the individual themselves.

The UCCA needs to register its delegation with Ukraine's Central Election Commission in early March, so those interested in serving as international election observers are asked to contact the UCCA's New York Office at (212) 228-6840 or by e-mail at ucca@ucca.org as soon as possible.
