The Supervising Committee for the fifth Central Municipal Council election will announce the initial list of voters at the headquarters of each constituency tomorrow.
The first phase of voter list registration was completed last Tuesday.
As many as 19,396 voters registered through the headquarters of the 29 electoral constituencies as well as ‘Metrash2’ service. The committee has urged all citizens who have registered their names to visit the electoral headquarters, to ensure their names are entered in the voters’ list.
The Committee will start receiving applications for addition or deletion of the voters through the headquarters of all electoral constituencies as well as ‘Metrash2’ service tomorrow.
It will also provide a chance to the citizens, who could not register their names in the voters’ list, to do so during the addition and deletion period which runs until February 5. Regarding the evaluation of the first phase of registration, the Elections Department director and head of the Supervising Committee for the fifth Central Municipal Council election, Brigadier Majid Ibrahim al-Khulaifi said the Ministry of Interior has undertaken all efforts in preparation of the CMC elections and has eased the procedures of voters’ registration.
“But the number of the applicants received during the registration period is less than previous elections which saw a registration of 32,000 voters,” he said.
The official explained that the CMC election is a national opportunity and participation is obligatory for every citizen who has been granted the right to vote.
