On 21 May 2020, the concept of an interactive digital platform for voters’ education and awareness raising was presented to and discussed by the members of the Central Election Commission of Ukraine.
The main aim of the interactive digital platform is on a permanent basis to provide general and specific information related to the electoral rights and voting procedures, electoral systems and processes. The platform will be designed in a way that motivates and encourages voters to learn in edutainment format.
The digital platform will be designed in line with the following principles:
- human centric approach,
- clarity and comrehensibility,
- attractiveness and unexpectedness.
It will be targeted at first-time voters, students, political contestants, but also at various electoral stakeholders, and voters in general. More than 20 experts and consultants have been involved into the development of the concept. The development of the platform is planned to be completed by the end of summer in order to be launched before 2020 local elections in Ukraine.
The Council of Europe provides its support both to the development of the concept and to the development of the digital platform within the framework of its project on “Supporting the transparency, inclusiveness and integrity of electoral practice in Ukraine”.
