The Central Elections Commission (CEC) Chairman, Hanna Nasir, received today the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Special Representative to Palestine, Yvonne Helle, at the CEC headquarters in Al-Bireh to brief the representative on the recent electoral proceedings and preparations underway for the upcoming 2021 Palestinian elections. The Chairman also informed the representative of the conclusion of the nomination period for the Legislative Council elections, and the commencement of the election campaigning stage set to take place next month.
Chairman Nasir reiterated concerns surrounding the potential obstacles posed by the Israeli occupation authorities against holding the Palestinian elections, particularly those scheduled in Jerusalem, and renewed his invitation to the United Nations to aid in preventing any Israeli interventions in the electoral process, and ensure the rightful participation of Jerusalemites in the Palestinian elections.
