Less than one week for political parties to register!

Deadline registration political parties

The Electoral Council calls on all political parties which have not yet
registered to participate in the upcoming Parliamentary elections to do so
as soon as possible as the deadline for application for registration of
political parties is Wednesday, May 28, 2014.

Any party that fails to apply for registration before or on May 28, 2014
and/or does not adhere to all requirements stipulated for registration of
political parties laid down in the National Ordinance on Registration and
Finances of Political Parties will be excluded from participation in the
upcoming elections.

Submission of an application for registration by a political party does not
mean that the party is registered by the Electoral Council. Subsequent to
the submission of the application, the application will be thoroughly
reviewed by the Electoral Council. Only after receiving a positive decision
on the application by the Electoral Council, the party can be considered
registered and may participate in the Parliamentary election to be held on
August 29, 2014.

Together with the application for registration of the political party the
following documents should be submitted by the party to the Electoral
Council:

– Notarial deed containing the Articles of Association

– Excerpt from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry

– Statement containing the appointment of the party’s authorized
representative and deputy authorized representative

– Application for registration of the identification to be placed above
the list of candidates

In view of the upcoming deadline for registration of political parties on
May 28th, 2014, the Electoral Council will extend its opening hours on
Monday, May 26th, Tuesday, May 27th and Wednesday, May 28th, 2014 and will
be open from 09:00 a.m. to 05:30 p.m.
