UN AGENCY TO HELP MALI REFUGEES PARTICIPATE IN UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
New York, Jun 28 2013 12:00PM
With only one month to go before the presidential elections take place
in Mali, the United Nations is helping neighbouring countries deal
with refugees who will be voting outside their home country.

According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR), Burkina Faso, Niger and Mauritania host some 175,000 Malian
refugees who fled the recent conflict there. Refugees eligible to vote
in exile are people already registered in the Malian Administrative
Civil Status Census, conducted in 2010.

"UNHCR is supporting the participation of refugees in these elections,
although our role is limited to a strictly humanitarian and
non-political one," UNHCR spokesperson Adrian Edwards told reporters
in Geneva. "We are providing refugees with practical information on
their right to participate in the elections and we are also providing
some transportation."

In Burkina Faso, UNHCR has launched awareness campaigns in all refugee
camps as well as spontaneous refugee sites, and in urban settings with
concentrations of refugees.

"We are letting people know that personal information and data held by
UNHCR is not being shared with the Malian Government, and advising on
steps to take should people come under pressure from any person or
party involved in the election," Mr. Edwards said.

Of almost 50,000 refugees in Burkina Faso, more than 18,400 are of
voting age, and over the past four days, 10 teams deployed by the
Malian Embassy and supported by UNHCR have started registering
refugees to vote. The process is monitored by Burkina Faso's national
refugee commission.

Mr. Edwards said registration numbers have picked up in the past few
days, and added that the names of registered voters will be sent to
authorities in the Bamako, the Malian capital, so that electoral cards
can be sent to Burkina Faso and distributed to refugees.

Similar arrangements are in place in Niger and Mauritania, which host
some 50,000 and 75,000 refugees, respectively.

UNHCR previously facilitated out-of-country voting by refugees in
South Sudan in 2011, in Iraq in 2010 and in Afghanistan in 2004.
