Post-Election Public Opinion in Kosovo 2010: Findings from an IFES January 2010 Survey

The 2009 municipal and mayoral elections were widely seen as well organized, free and fair, and voters report proper procedures taking place in polling stations. Still confidence in the power of the vote, while still fairly high, dropped between the 2007 and 2009 elections.

The project's goal was to ensure that a voter education programme was developed focusing on the most fundamental level, villages and small communities without access to television or radio, and that it was carried out by Kosovars themselves.
