More than two hundred young people in Comrat, Bălți, Cahul, Edineț and Coșnița participated in the campaign “ELECT to think critically”. This informational campaign on the right to elect and to be elected took place between February 7-10, 2017, and was organized by the Promo-LEX Association in the context of Global Elections Day.

The purpose of the campaign was to inform young people about the basic principles of free elections, as well as their roles as both voters and citizens in developing their local communities and elsewhere. In addition, the young people had a discussion about laws on financing political parties using the state budget and about the importance of monitoring political actors and holding them responsible.

The campaign consisted of presentations and discussions with experts from the Promo-LEX Association as well as film screenings, with the goal of developing a critical spirit in young people, as well as the inspiring them to find ideas and/or solutions for increasing the level of participation.
