The Elections Commission has decided to conduct a national referendum to seek public opinion on synchronizing the Presidential and Parliamentary elections. This vote is scheduled to take place alongside the Local Council Elections on April 4. During this referendum, citizens will be provided with a specific ballot paper to decide whether to ratify the constitutional amendment proposed to merge these elections.
The Commission has emphasized that raising public awareness on this matter is crucial. Furthermore, they have urged political parties and non-governmental organizations to disseminate comprehensive information regarding this question to the public. The primary objective of consolidating the elections is to reduce the significant state expenditure incurred when holding them separately.
