PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS 2004

STATE ELECTION COMMISSION AND IFES VOTER EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

SEC Spokesperson Zoran Tanevski held a press conference on Monday 5 April 2004 to launch the joint SEC and IFES voter education program. IFES worked with the SEC Spokesperson to craft the press release. More than 30 journalists attended and were give previews of the polling station poster and the five television spots.

The press conference generated good coverage on the evening news programs and the next day press including the leading dailies Utrinski Vesnik and Dnevnik.

The spots were provided to all state-owned television and radio stations at the national and local levels. State-owned media are required under the election law to provide free airtime for official voter education messages.
