Damascus-SANA

The Supreme Judicial Committee for Elections announced the re-election of local administration councils in two centers, the first in the village of Hayalin in the Hama countryside, and the second in the Dower Sheikh Saad center in Tartous, as a result of an error in the number of electoral envelopes compared to the electoral register in both centers.

Committee member Judge Hossam El-Din Rahmoun explained in a statement to SANA reporter that the re-election began in the two polling stations at seven in the morning and will continue until seven in the evening, with the same voters in both centers after it was officially announced and a new election committee was named in both centers by the administrative head in each province.

Judge Rahmoun pointed out that the error in the number of electoral envelopes compared to the electoral register is a human error and can occur, as he found in Dower Al-Sheikh an increase of more than 2% in the number of envelopes, while in Hayalin the percentage was less than 2% compared to the electoral register of the two centers, indicating that The occurrence of the error is normal compared to the number of electoral centers, which reached 7,348 in all governorates.

Judge Rahmoun indicated that a number of objections were rejected formally because they were submitted to the election sub-committees in each governorate, while the objection should have been approved by the objector before the committees of the election centers and recorded by the committees in the election minutes.

It is noteworthy that the number of candidates for the local council elections reached 59,498 candidates from different governorates competing for 19,086 seats.
