COTE D'IVOIRE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS - 31 OCTOBER 2010=20

=20



FACT SHEET: 25 October 2010


=B7        The first round of presidential elections in C=F4te =
d=92Ivoire is
scheduled to take place on 31 October 2010. The national institution in
charge of organizing and conducting the elections is the Independent
Electoral Commission (IEC) of C=F4te d=92Ivoire. These will be the first
presidential elections in the country in a decade.=20

=B7        More than 5.7 million Ivorians are registered to vote in =
10,179
locations around the country, in 20,073 polling stations manned by
66,000 polling agents.=20

=B7        The United Nations Operation in C=F4te d=92Ivoire (UNOCI), a
peacekeeping mission deployed there since 2004, is providing technical,
logistical and security support to the Government of C=F4te d=92Ivoire =
and
to the IEC. This support has included transportation and distribution of
national identity and voters=92 cards, transportation of equipment and
other electoral materials, and security support.=20

=B7        To bolster security for the elections, on 29 September 2010,
the Security Council  authorized the deployment of 500 additional
peacekeeping personnel to increase UNOCI=92s military and police =
presence
from 8,650 to 9,150. This temporary increase for a period of up to six
months is reinforcing the capacity of UNOCI to contribute to security
arrangements for the elections, the responsibility for which rests in
the first instance with the Ivorian security forces. In this regard, 200
military personnel from Senegal and 150 Togolese troops are deploying to
join UNOCI. The remaining elements are Formed Police Units.=20

=B7        UNOCI conducted the national distribution of electoral =
material
in three cycles beginning on 8 October 2010. The first cycle involved
the transportation of the non-sensitive electoral materials (ballot
boxes, polling booths, electoral kits) by air and road to 70 departments
throughout the country and was completed on 11 October. The second cycle
involved sensitive materials such as voter and identity cards, which
UNOCI transported by air and by road from Abidjan to the
sous-pr=E9fectures  and 415 local electoral commissions on 12 October. =
The
third cycle involves the transportation of other types of sensitive
materials such as ballot papers, indelible ink, and electoral documents.


=B7        By UN Security Council Resolution 1765 (2007), the Special
Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG), Y. J. Choi, who is also
the head of UNOCI, is mandated to certify that all stages of the
electoral process provide all necessary guarantees for the holding of
open, free, fair and transparent presidential and legislative elections
in accordance with international standards.=20
=B7        With a view to assessing the certification under this =
specific
context, the SRSG developed, in consultation with the key Ivorian
stakeholders and the peace process =93facilitator,=94 Burkina Faso =
President
Blaise Compaor=E9, a =93five-criteria framework=94 for certification =
(see para
32 of the 16th  progress report of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on
UNOCI, S/2008/250).=20

=B7        The framework defines broad benchmarks that enable the SRSG =
to
assess whether: (a) a secure environment exists during the period
leading to the elections and allows for the full participation of the
population and the candidates in the process; (b) the electoral process
is inclusive; (c) all candidates have equitable access to
State-controlled media and whether the latter remains neutral; (d) the
voters lists are credible and accepted by all parties; and (e) the
results of the elections are determined through a transparent counting
process and are accepted by all or are challenged peacefully through the
appropriate channels.=20

=B7        In line with his mandate, the SRSG explicitly certified the
final voters list of 5,725,720 persons on 24 September 2010.  During the
last presidential elections held in 2000), while 5.5 million registered
to vote, turnout was low at 37.4%.=20

=B7        The certification of the final voters list took into
consideration six major steps over the past five years in C=F4te =
d=92Ivoire,
such as: establishment of mobile courts, the reconstitution of the civil
registry records, the identification of the population, the voter
registration process, the establishment of the provisional voters list
and the appeals process.=20

=B7        At the conclusion of each of the first five steps, Special
Representative Choi certified each step =93implicitly=94 through a press
conference in which he made a positive evaluation of the work
accomplished. He will also explicitly certify the results of the
elections.=20

=B7        As the UN is providing technical support to the electoral
process, the UN will not field observers, but will offer some services
to support international observers, including briefings, coordination of
their arrival and transport in the country.=20

=B7        International observers from the European Union, the Economic
Commission of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union, the
Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, the Carter Center, the
United States and Japan have been arriving to monitor the voting process
along with national observers.=20

=B7        The European Union and the United Nations Development =
Programme
are assisting the Ivorian government with funding support for the
electoral process.=20

=B7        The peacekeeping mission=92s radio station, which covers 75 =
per
cent of the country, has been broadcasting continuous information on the
electoral process in five national languages, and has given equal
broadcast time to all candidates for campaign statements.=20

=B7        On 15 October 2010, the Security Council renewed arms,
financial and travel sanctions on C=F4te d=92Ivoire for six months, as =
well
as a ban on trade in rough diamonds. But the Council also pledged to
review sanctions within three months, after =93open, free, fair and
transparent=94 presidential elections.=20

Background=20

=B7        The United Nations Operation in C=F4te d=92Ivoire was =
deployed in
2004 to monitor a ceasefire between the opposing sides, to assist in the
disarmament and demobilization of ex-combatants, and to help bring about
stability.=20


 =20
=B7        The Ivorian presidential elections have been postponed six
times since the last elections in 2000. The 31 October elections will be
the first since conflict broke out in C=F4te d=92Ivoire in 2002, =
dividing
the country into a rebel-held north and Government-controlled southern
region.=20



=B7         According to the Ivorian Constitution, the President is
elected for a five-year term and can be re-elected one time.=20



=B7        To be elected, a candidate must have the absolute majority of
the vote. If no candidate has an absolute majority, a second round
between the two candidates with the most votes will be organized four
weeks after the first round, around 28 November 2010.=20



=B7        The Electoral Code provides candidates the right to challenge
the voting and counting processes by appeal to the seven-member
Constitutional Council. The Constitutional Council is appointed by the
President and is tasked under the Constitution to receive presidential
and legislative candidate nominations and determine candidate
eligibility. It formally publishes the final results of presidential and
legislative elections. It also has powers to rule on the
consitutionality of legislation and international treaties, and
certifies the good conduct of referenda.=20

Statement by SRSG Choi to the people of Cote d=92Ivoire on 22 October
2010, Abidjan=20

The moment has arrived for Ivorians to choose their President. UNOCI
encourages Ivorians to exercise their right to vote in a responsible and
peaceful manner.

The current peaceful electoral environment must be maintained before,
during and after the voting process, so that the results are accepted by
all. Credible elections are the only guarantee for a return to normality
in C=F4te d=92Ivoire. UNOCI is confident that Ivorians will ensure that
democracy prevails and that peace remains. The winner will be the
winner.

The Secretary-General welcomes the opening today of the electoral
campaign in C=F4te d=92Ivoire and the progress made so far in the =

accordance with the spirit and letter of the code of conduct.

I remain convinced that the interest and aspiration of the Ivorian
people to see a peaceful resolution to the crisis will continue to guide
all stakeholders in this crucial step. I also remain convinced that the

the electoral process.=20

I reiterate the availability of the United Nations Operation in C=F4te

The moment has arrived for Ivorians to choose their President. UNOCI =
encourages
Ivorians to exercise their right to vote in a responsible and peaceful =
manner.<br>
<br>
The current peaceful electoral environment must be maintained before, =
during
and after the voting process, so that the results are accepted by all. =
Credible
elections are the only guarantee for a return to normality in =
<st1:country-region

that
peace remains. The winner will be the winner.<br>
