Approval of 2026 Electoral Law Amendment
The Council of Ministers has approved the draft amended Law of the Independent Election Commission for 2026, aiming to update the provisions to enhance the Commission's efficiency in managing electoral processes. The amendments include prohibiting Commission employees from belonging to political parties during their work to ensure neutrality, as well as requiring candidates who are also Commission employees to take an unpaid leave at least 90 days before the election, with the elected candidate automatically considered resigned. Additionally, the Commission’s responsibilities have been updated, incorporating digital propaganda tools within its oversight, and election dates have been specified, with considerations for their cancellation or postponement to ensure the integrity and transparency of the elections.
