Luanda - National Electoral Commission (CNE) set Friday voting priority for a particular group of electoral agents and allowed to vote with their uniforms.
The fact was announced Friday by CNE spokesman Lucas Quilundo while speaking to the press at the end of an extraordinary session of this body.
Quilundo mentioned, among the voters with priority, police officers, firefighters, health and Airlines professionals.
He said that the decision stems from the fact that, on June 24 this year, the CNE Plenary unanimously decided not to carry out early voting in these general elections.
The move prompted the creation of mechanisms that would quickly enable the voting of some groups of citizens, who would benefit from early voting.
Lucas Quilundo said that during the meeting, the terms of reference for holding an “International Seminar on Electoral Observation” were discussed.
This is to enable the observers to have a better understanding of the principles that govern Angolan legislation.
He clarified that the Seminar will take place on August 21, at the CNE headquarters, and will have as participants leaders of electoral observation missions and members of the National Electoral Commission.
“The Law stipulates that, 45 days after the end of the electoral process, candidacies must report through their electoral administrator on the way in which public funds were used for the purposes of electoral expenses”, he said.
About 14.3 million, including 22, 560 residing abroad, will vote in 2022 elections, where the parties such as MPLA, UNITA, PRS, FNLA, APN, P-NJANGO, PHA and CASA-CE are vying for the positions of President of Republic and Vice President.
