According to a press release issued by the NEC on January 30, the 175 candidates all passed an exam which tested their knowledge of electoral systems.
In the lead-up to the commune council elections scheduled for June 5, political parties have been preparing to register their parties and candidates by early March for the 5th mandate elections once the official validation of the 2021 voter list is announced on February 12.
The period for lodging official complaints with the National Election Committee (NEC) following the posting of the 2021 voter list and list of removed names has now ended with a total of 36 complaints received through commune councils nationwide.
As of January 9, a total of 15 complaints had been filed by citizens to their commune councils nationwide regarding their election registration either being incorrect or improperly deleted, according to the National Election Committee (NEC).
The National Election Committee (NEC) is scheduled to post the voter list publicly in January in communes across the country following the completion of the verification and new voter registration drives.
