Voting in Algeria begins through mobile offices

• 

The voting process for the Algerian legislative elections began Thursday in the various remote areas distributed through the Algerian provinces, especially in the south.

The convoys of mobile offices, which will be accompanied by observers from the candidates’ representatives at the level of each office, as well as representatives of the state delegate to the Independent National Electoral Authority, have been equipped with the various logistical means necessary to conduct the polls and to ensure that these offices reach the most remote, voter-populated areas.

According to the Algerian news agency, voting started in 34 mobile offices distributed all over the isolated, remote, and border areas in the state of Ouargla, Tindouf, Tamanrasset, Illizi, Djanet, and In Guezzam with the goal of giving around 33,890 registered voters the ability to vote in the legislative elections in the best conditions possible.

All necessary human and logistical means were provided in these mobile offices accompanied by representatives of the candidates. The offices are also well equipped with health and security means, in respect of the restrictions amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

The voting process for Algerian expatriates started Thursday, too, through the various Algerian consular representations spread across the world.

Voting continues, in mobile offices and for members of the diaspora, until June 12.

The electoral campaign for the legislative elections ended Tuesday as the country entered election silence.

The intervention of the party leaders in the last two days before the election silence distinguished these elections, as they confirmed that the large-scale fraud that the previous rounds have witnessed deprived Algerians of electing a representative and legitimate parliament that reflects the majority of political currents and ideologies.
