Referendum 2000: Choosing a Political System for Uganda
“Referendum 2000: Choosing a political System for Uganda” is a pamphlet that answers key questions related to the 2000 referendum in Uganda. The literature answers questions about registration for voting, why one should vote and address what the movement and multi-party systems will represent. The pamphlet also acknowledges that a referendum is a vote on an issue, in this case a political system, and not is geared towards electing a candidate.

Election Day in Tbilisi, Georgia
Throughout the month of May, Georgia prepared for elections to choose representatives to local councils (sakrebulos) as well as the mayor of the capital city of Tbilisi. This represents the first time that voters would directly elect a mayor. IFES contributed to pre-election preparations through a number of initiatives, including sponsoring live television debates featuring the Tbilisi mayoral candidates; supporting local organizations to get out the vote, produce debates, and observe the election; facilitating a Memorandum of Understanding on the Abuse of Administrative Resources; producing voter education posters, leaflets, and T-shirts; and other activities. Election Day, May 30, 2010, was peaceful and orderly. The OSCE noted deficiencies in the electoral framework and the uneven playing field, but called these elections "evident progress" towards Georgia meeting its international commitments.
