Elections Commission of the Maldives (ECM) has published the final voters’ list for the Villimale’ Women’s Development Committee (WDC) by-election.
The voters’ list shows 2,900 individuals are eligible to vote in the by-election. A total of six ballot boxes will be placed at Muhyiddin School in Villimale’ during the by-election. ECM has decided not to place ballot boxes in Male’ City and Hulhumale’ due to the low number of individuals who registered to vote in these areas.
The Villimale’ WDC by-election has been scheduled for May 14 and candidates will be signing the final voters registry at the ECM headquarters from 1000hrs to 1400hrs on May 11. The electoral body stated that individuals who plan to sign on behalf of a candidate should arrive with the relevant documents and a letter signed by the candidate.
Two candidates will be vying in the Villimale’ WDC by-election. They are Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) member Fathimath Nazim and Maldives National Party (MNP) member Aminath Shiza.
