With the August heat, the elections will also go away Tomorrow the deadline for approving the zone committees expires. The Central Election Commission has still not been convened. Ballooning through gathered nets, on the ropes holding hundreds of people whom he initially did not present, but who have now arrived by bus in the name of defending the so-called republic, the partisans have still not even been paid their top-ups; the Democrats are looking to a commission rather than to an entire government to save this city. Tomorrow the deadline for approving the zone committees is expected to expire. The Central Election Commission, which under the election law should have been created three months before the elections, has still not begun to function. So far only three of its 13 members have met. The commission is also due to be assembled on 29 June, the very day the election date is expected to be announced. The CEC is supposed to have seven members, three of whom are proposed by political parties. So far only the names of the three members have been proposed. The head of the CEC must be someone who is not part of politics, but no one still knows who that is. We remind readers that, according to the law, the CEC must be ready 60 days before the elections. If the deadline is not met, the zonal election commissions will be set up by decision of the Council of Ministers. All political parties will be part of these commissions. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, elections were held on the basis of the last law of the old regime. Whereas these elections, under the new electoral code, will be the first to be held with all political parties participating. The Central Election Commission will consist of seven members; three of them are proposed by political parties. So far only the names of the three members have been proposed. The head of the CEC must be someone who is not part of politics, but no one still knows who that is. We remind readers that, according to the law, the CEC must be ready 60 days before the elections. If the deadline is not met, the zonal election commissions will be set up by decision of the Council of Ministers. All political parties will be part of these commissions. If they were to address all political parties now, that would be the easiest thing. The chairwoman of the Socialist Party, who takes and writes down the candidacies, told us that after observing the formation of the central commissions in the districts, she has concluded that they should be given as much as possible to the forces that took part in the 1992 elections and that are part of these commissions. For everyone who wants to be heard by the voters, the commissions are by no means easy to set up. Indeed, for them it is a heavy task, one that would be better suited to an entire government than to a commission. The election commission should be formed with as many people as possible to create room for assistance. Meanwhile, according to the Socialist Party chairwoman, voting-center commissions should include representatives from all political parties. She notes that, like all the parties that took part in the 1992 elections, these too are necessary to help carry out the elections. In conclusion, she asks that the commissions be as broad as possible and accepted by all sides. According to a small party, which is very concerned about not being left out, the election commissions should be as representative and transparent as possible. The deputy chair of that party said that if their formation is not achieved, there will be a risk that the elections will not be accepted. But he also said that these commissions should comply with the law and should not create problems in the electoral process. The zonal commission and the voting-center commissions must be in line with the law and meet the necessary conditions. If that does not happen, there will be a problem with holding the elections and with the chances of them being accepted by all sides. Therefore, this is an issue that must be resolved as quickly as possible.
