The CEC held today two centralized training workshops for 155 nomination staff in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip on nomination procedures. The training is conducted over two days as the CEC is about to open nomination for the upcoming Local Council Elections during the period from 16-25 August 2016.
The training sessions focus on the requirements of nomination and approval of electoral lists and the necessary enclosures for the nomination application to be accepted. They also address the legal conditions that the electoral lists and their candidates should meet and the mechanisms of their verification.
This training comes as part of series of trainings the CEC holds for its staff and election stakeholders prior to each electoral stage. Last week, the CEC conducted training for senior representatives of political parties on nomination conditions, formation of electoral lists, nomination applications and necessary enclosures.
