“During the last two months of 2022, the Central Election Commission has certified 11 candidates to participate in the mayoral elections in either of the four municipalities and 63 candidates to compete in elections for the two municipal municipalities. This process will be valid, meaning that political subjects will be able from 9 March to 13 March to confirm certified candidates in November and December last year.

This could be done during the 10-day deadline, from 9 to 18 March”, Elez explained.
According to the CEC's decision, by 24 March, this institution will decide on approval/refuse the Certificate of political subjects and candidates, while the election campaign is scheduled to last 18 days, from April 4th to April 21st.
