Electoral Committee Updates Preliminary Results and Confirms Their Challengeability Within a Week

SadaNews - The Central Election Commission has updated the preliminary results of the local authority elections on its website, after completing the verification of its data by the end of Sunday. The technical teams have finished compiling and entering 100% of the counting minutes from all centers.

The committee would like to clarify, following a number of inquiries focused on the process of replacing the women's quota and the Islamic-Christian quota stipulated by the election law, which caused some confusion among citizens. It has become clear that the vast majority of the cases being discussed relate to a misunderstanding regarding the replacement mechanism. At the same time, the review concluded with updated results for a limited number of authorities. On another note, the committee would like to reiterate to the public that passing the electoral threshold does not always guarantee obtaining a seat.

The committee calls on all lists, candidates, citizens, and interested parties to view the complete details of the results through its website, reaffirming its full commitment to accuracy and absolute transparency in conveying the will of the voters. It confirms that the preliminary results published on its page are provisional results that can be challenged in the Election Courts within a week from the date of their announcement according to the law.
