Working Group on Inclusive Elections for Persons with Disabilities – DICON, held its second meeting on March 10, 2020 in Belgrade. The meeting defined recommendations to the REC for a text on the Rules on the Work of Polling Boards, which related to a more detailed prescribing of voting outside the polling station (voting at home) and voting in institutions for permanent accommodation. Issues that still need to be addressed in the next period are defined, such as voting for blind persons and persons with no legal capacity.
Representatives of the Republican Election Commission, the Office of the Commissioner for Equality Protection, the Protector of Citizens, the UN Human Rights Team, the election monitoring organization, the organization of persons with disabilities, and the members of the Team Center of the project “Work as You Speak, Together with Persons with Disabilities” participated. The recommendations were forwarded to the REC, hoping to be included in the new Rules on the Work of Polling Boards.
