The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has
requested US voluntary agencies to help publicize
their program for registration of Kosovar voters
living outside of Kosovo so they can participate in
the
November elections. IOM message follows:

Message: (please scroll down) The International
Organization for Migration is happy to inform you that
the Special Representative of the Secretary General
and Head of the UN Interim Administration Mission in
Kosovo (UNMIK) announced Kosovo-wide elections for
November 17, 2001 to elect a 120-member law-making
Assembly.
Recalling the success of last year’s municipal
elections, the IOM is pleased to be tasked again with
preparing non-resident registration for this year’s
Assembly elections. The elections are overseen by the
Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
(OSCE). The OSCE and the International Organization
for Migration (IOM) signed on 17 May a Memorandum of
Understanding under which the IOM Election
Co-ordination Office in Vienna has begun preparations
to conduct, co-ordinate and supervise the registration
of Kosovars living outside Kosovo.
To vote in the November elections, every eligible
voter must either apply to register or confirm
registration from last year by completing a new
registration form. Registration begins 30 July and
ends 8 September.
IOM-OKV is sending to all applicants from last year
personalized registration materials to be completed
and returned to IOM-OKV Vienna. As we are making every
effort to reach all potential voters, we ask your
important support to help inform and provide materials
to potential voters.
This year, generic registration forms and information
may also be downloaded from our website at
www.okvoting.org.
For further information or application materials,
applicants form the USA and Canada should either take
advantage of our website or call our 
IOM Washington office at our toll-free number at
1.866.819.5158 or contact us
by e-mail at okv-dc at iom.int.
