cos Call TO Order The annual conference of the Association of Central and Eastern European Election Officials (ACEEEO) is being held September 27-30, 1995, in the historic and beautiful city of Si6fok. This is the fifth in a series of multinational election meetings in which top electoral administrators from Central and Eastern Europe join together to provide for the mutual exchange of information, consultation, and cooperation in building transparent, efficient, and impartial electoral systems. During the three-day conference, participants will have the opportunity to hear election reports from other country representatives in the region, see and discuss features of the latest election technologies, and hear an important case study of the application of technology to election administration. The mechanics of modern election administration will also be emphasized as participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with election commodities and equipment on display just outside the conference hall. Conference Organizers The ACEEEO conference has been organized by the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES) and the Hungarian Foundation for Elections, with the generous support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Polaroid Corporation, and the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA).

Message from Dr. Zoltan 10th, secretary of the Association of Central and Eastern European Election Officials CACEEEO) Dear Conference Participants and Guests: As Secretary of the Association of Central and Eastern European Election Officials, it is a great honor to welcome you to the annual conference of the A CEEEO in Hungary. The ACEEEO was founded to encourage and assist election officials in the transition from authoritarian-style government to democracies with free, fair, and transparent elections. Recognizing this transformation as a challenging one, the ACEEEO is pleased to provide the countries of the region with technical and educational assistance in the area of election administration. The goal of the conference in Si6fok is to share knowledge of technical applications to election administration. This information has become vital in ensuring that election procedures are legitimate and that the voters' faith in democracy is assured. It is my hope that countries in Central and Eastern Europe will become familiar with those western technologies which may benefit their electoral systems. During the conference, participants and guests involved in the Conference will become more educated about technologies in election administration. This will be accomplished through the exhibition involving numerous election technology vendors, the insights gained through the technology roundtable discussions, and the presentation of the technology case study of Mexico given by the Instituto Federal Electoral (IFE). I believe that all participants will further gain invaluable information and ideas by sharing common experiences, successes, and even frustrations as we continue to take advantage of advances in the administration of elections. I look forward to being with all of you in the next three days and know that you will all contribute to and benefit from the conference.

Message from Dr. Cyorgy Banlaki The Ambassador of Hungary to the United states Dear Conference Participants and Guests: In my capacity as the Ambassador of the Republic of Hungary in Washington, D.C., I would like to extend my warm welcome on the occasion of the annual conference of the Association of Central and Eastern European Election Officials. As your Association's charter defines, the ACEEEO was founded to further international cooperation, to support democracy by ensuring the inviolability of voting rights, to strengthen the development of efficient and transparent electoral systems, and to hold joint consultations on the problems that may emerge in the institutionalization of electoral systems. The Conference to be held in Si6fok would be an ideal opportunity to serve these goals. The theme for your annual meeting this year, "New Technologies in Election Administration," refers to the continuous improvement of technologies and techniques that the challenging transition process taking place in the countries of the Central and Eastern European region requires. It is my sincere hope that in the coming couple of days, all participants will benefit from the different experiences learned from one another. I am very pleased to understand that several Hungarian and American corporations will use this excellent opportunity offered by the Conference to display their latest election system equipment. The participation of numerous election officials from different countries also underlines the importance of your 1995 meeting in Hungary. Unfortunately due to my other duties, I am unable to attend in person your very prestigious event, therefore let me greet you via this letter. I wish you all success and I am sure that by working together, the ACEEEO will achieve its goals.

~~O~g~1 ~ A~O ~ The History of the ACEEEO in Brief The Central European Electoral Systems Symposium The ACEEEO was established to provide election officials, administrators, parliamentarians, and jurists with an annual opportunity to exchange information about electoral and political processes among the nations of Central and Eastern Europe. During the four years of preceding conferences, participation has grown to include election authorities from Western Europe, multinational organizations, and nongovernmental organizations. charter Meeting of the ACEEEO As a result of the productive nature of a three-day meeting of election officials in 1991, the participants and official representatives of Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Yugoslavia drafted a protocol for the creation of a regional body of electoral officials which would ensure regular and systematic exchanges of information among member countries. The Protocol establishing the Association of Central and Eastern European Electoral Officials (ACEEEO) was later signed by Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine and was enthusiastically supported by the "Free Election" bureau of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) in Warsaw, Poland. The ACEEEO's charter defined the objectives of the Association as follows: to further strengthen the development of efficient and transparent electoral systems; to hold joint consultations on the problems that may emerge in the institutionalization of electoral systems; to exchange invitations among members countries to observe each other's elections in order to inculcate a common professional experience; and to share information on how to further develop the democratic electoral process. The participating countries also agreed to hold an annual conference on theoretical and practical issues of elections and determined that membership in the Association should remain open to all countries wishing to join. The Secretariat of the ACEEEO and a Documentation Center, which acts as a clearinghouse of information for regional electoral experts and a repository of all Association records, were established in Budapest.

cos Support for the Elections Documentation Center Having contributed a large quantity of election materials to the Documentation Center, Elections Canada, represented in the original 1991 ACEEEO Symposium, advocated support from the Canadian government to make the Center a modern data-processing body. With the assistance of IFES President Richard Soudriette, the political project director of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation visited Budapest in May of 1992 and deemed the Association's objectives and activities were worthy of support. Since 1991, the Association has been primarily supported with resources from the member countries and private sources. The foundations who have offered support include: the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation - $50,000; the Raynault Foundation - $25,000; Polaroid Corporation --$10,000; Organization for Security in Central Europe (OSCE) - $25,000; International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) - $7,500; and the Soros Foundation - $20,000. Vendors who have participated as election equipment exhibitors have contributed in excess of $30,000. The ACEEEO's 1994 Conference Pursuant to the Association's charter, an annual conference took place in Kiev, Ukraine, December 15-17, 1994 and was attended by the official representatives of 15 Central and Eastern European countries including Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia. In addition to discussing individual accounts of their respective country's electoral process, the election officials addressed those issues and problems which had arisen in the recent past and required the immediate attention of all participants. Invited lecturers elaborated their views regarding essential aspects of a model electoral process to include: representation of ethnic minorities; voter education; and the duties of election observers. The Association for Electoral Administrators (AEA) Joins the ACEEEO During the 1993 ACEEEO Symposium, the Secretary of the ACEEEO, Dr. Zoltan T6th, announced the formation of a Hungarian, non-governmental organization, the "Hungarian Foundation for Elections,» to serve as Hungary's single point of contact with the Association's Secretariat and Documentation Center with TamOgatas a Valasztasi Dokumentacios Kozpontnak Az Elections Canada, amely nagy mennyisegd vaiasztasi anyaggal jarult hozza a Dokumentaci6s Kazpont felaihtasahoz, es kepviseltette magat az eredeti 1991-es ACEEEO Szimp6ziumon, a kanadai kormanyt61 kervenyezett tamogatast annak erdekeben, hogy a K6zpont egy modern adatfeldolgoz6 szervve vaijon.

~I ~ ACEEEO ~ its objective of augmenting and facilitating international exchanges of election information, statistics, and expertise for Hungary. It was proposed by Dr. T6th that member countries follow suit with the formation of similar organizations. At the end of the conference, Mr. Charles Lasham, an official of the British Association for Electoral Administrators (AEA), expressed an interest in strengthening relations between the two associations. In August of 1993, the AEA announced its intention to join the ACEEEO. The AEA then sent invitations requesting 18 electoral administrators from Central and Eastern Europe to take part as observers in the European Parliamentary Elections held in London, England, in June 1994. All observers chosen from the ACEEEO remarked on the productive experience the opportunity provided them. Recent Developments The Documentation Center of the ACEEEO has made every effort to improve the scope of its data gathering, processing, and dissemination services at a pace commensurate with its financial capabilities. Since the agreement to make Budapest the Center's permanent home, the Association's Secretariat has made every effort to supply suitable space for the gathering and storing of election materials, as well as the technical and human resource requirements to assure the Center's success. Because the objective of creating a modern information facility is beyond the capacity of anyone country in the region, collective assistance will be necessary in the further development of the Center. secretary's Update on ACEEEO Activities The ACEEEO was formed in 1991 in Budapest and can point to numerous achievements over the past four years. The ACEEEO is pleased to report on the following ongoing and future activities: 1. Organization of annual conferences of top election officials and experts from almost every country of the region; 2. Organization of bilateral and multilateral meetings between election experts from various Central and Eastern European countries and Western countries; 3. Facilitation of election observation exchanges between member states; 4.
