shall keep a copy and the second copy shall be delivered to the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs,
and Endowments. 4. The names of the electors (voters’ lists) shall be displayed for seven days in
each electoral district at the headquarters and public places determined by the Minister of Justice,
Islamic Affairs, and Endowments, at least forty five days prior to the date set for the election.”
9.
In addition, Article (11) of the same Law stipulates that, “No amendment to the voters’ lists shall be
made after the call for a referendum or election, except for corrections in the lists in implementation
of the decisions and judgments issued on the appeals regarding registration therein, or on the basis
of notifications of the issuance of final judgments or decisions leading to deprivation of political
rights.”
10. As to the mechanism of objection for the voters whose names are not registered in the lists designated
to them, Article (12) of the above-mentioned Law sets out the procedural method regulating this
objection, stating that, “Any person whose name is not registered in the voters’ list, or if there is
an error in his/her registered data therein, is entitled to request the Supervisory Committee on the
Soundness of the Referendum and Election, stipulated in Article (7) of this Law, to include his/her
name or to correct the details relating to his/her registration. Any person, who is no longer subject
to a ban after drawing up the lists, may request including his/her name or to correct the details
concerning his/her registration. Any voter whose name is registered in one of the voters’ lists, may
request the inclusion of the name of a person whose name is neglected unjustly, or the omission of
the name of a person who is listed wrongfully, or the correction of the registration data, with regard
to the voters’ list of the electoral constituency in which the name of such person is registered. The
appeal for registration or correction shall be submitted during the display period of the voters’
lists. The Committee shall issue its decision on the appeal within three days as of the date of filing
the appeal. Failure to issue a decision during this period is an implicit decision of rejection. In case
of issuing a decision rejecting the appeal, the concerned party shall have the right to appeal such
decision before the Supreme Civil Court of Appeal no later than three days from the rejection. The
Court shall decide on the appeals within seven days from the date of commencing the proceedings;
its judgment is final with no possibility of appeal.”
11. Regarding the municipal affairs, the provisions of Articles (2), (3), (7), (8), (10) and (11) of DecreeLaw No. (3) of 2002 on the system of election of members of municipal councils and its amendments,
bear, in substance, the same provisions governing the electoral process of the members of the House
of Representatives.
