Institut Demokratija za razvoj (D4D) organizovala je simulaciju izbora u nekoliko srednjih škola širom Kosova u okviru projekta “Šire učešće za dobro upravljanje”. Simulacija izbora je obrazovni događaj koji upućuje mlade da budu informisani glasači. Od prošle nedelje, oko 500 mladih iz opštine Gračanice, Uroševac, Gnjilane, i Prištine su glasali na procesu simulativnog glasanja.

Učesnici su simulirali čitav izborni proces, uključujući i političke subjekte, izbornu kampanju, dan izbora i proces prebrojavanja na biračkom mjestu, gde su sami mladi odigrali ulogu fiktivnih političkih partija, osoblja CIK-a, medija i posmatrača.

Do kraja ove nedelje, najmanje 800 mladih učestvovaće u simulaciji izbora. Na ovaj način, pred lokalni izbora 2017, mladi učesnici stekne neophodna znanja kako bi postali aktivni deo važnih političkih i izbornih procesa.
