According to the concept of trainings developed for April 28, 2018 Parliamentary By-Elections in №54 Majoritarian Election District, 2^nd stage of trainings of members of precinct election commissions was held in the period of April 1 – 4, 2018.

Participants became aware to the following key training modules:

• Activities of precinct election commissions during the period prior to the polling day (unified list of voters, special list and the rule of designing a list for the mobile ballot box);
• Activities of precinct election commissions on the polling day (opening polling station and procedures to be performed before voting, the voting process, closing the polling station, summarizing voting results)
• Policy promoting engagement of persons with disabilities in the election process;
• Applications/complaints on the polling day;
• Conflict management.

To facilitate the enhancement of procedural knowledge of members of the Electoral Administration, the trainings were delivered using a hybrid methodology. Among other activities, participants of the training performed episodic staging of the polling day (performing the functions of registrar), that will ensure the development of their practical skills. The rule of work of members of precinct election commissions and polling day procedures were also covered at the training, in the format of the study film.

596 members of 60 PECs passed the training, among them men – 145, women – 451.
