Sharjah 24: As part of the concerted efforts to ensure the success of the upcoming 2023 Federal National Council elections, the Sharjah Emirate Electoral Committee recently convened a pivotal coordination meeting.
This gathering brought together representatives from the municipalities of the nine cities and regions within the Sharjah Emirate, namely Sharjah, Khorfakkan, Kalba, Dibba Al Hisn, Al Dhaid, Al Batayeh, Mleiha, Al Madam, and Al Hamriyah.
The primary objective of this meeting was to establish the necessary mechanisms and procedures to streamline services for prospective candidates in the Sharjah Emirate who wish to officially announce their election campaigns. Additionally, it aimed to facilitate the opening of campaign offices in designated locations across the Emirate. Equally important was ensuring strict adherence to campaign rules and regulations, with robust monitoring procedures in place.
The meeting was conducted under the able leadership of Issa Saif bin Handal, Chairman of the Sharjah Committee of the 2023 Federal National Council (FNC) elections. In attendance were representatives from the municipalities operating within the Sharjah Emirate. The meeting was held at the committee's headquarters located in the Sharjah Consultative Council building.
The collaborative efforts between the committee and the municipalities are geared towards delivering high-quality services and essential support to candidates representing the Sharjah Emirate. This includes the allocation of dedicated spaces for candidates to lodge external advertising requests and secure permits for their campaign headquarters (commonly known as "tents") in each municipal jurisdiction. Additionally, the committee is actively providing data on approved advertising and promotional companies, all of which have received accreditation from the municipalities.
Notably, the content of election programmes and campaign plans will undergo rigorous scrutiny and verification according to predefined forms specified by the National Committee. This meticulous oversight is designed to ensure that no irregularities or deviations occur during the election campaign period.
The Sharjah Emirate Electoral Committee for the 2023 FNC's elections underscores its unwavering commitment to upholding the principles of equal opportunity and fair competition. These principles are pivotal in affording every candidate the liberty to express their ideas, engage in activities to sway voters in their favor, and promote their electoral agendas freely. This freedom comes with the important caveat that candidates must adhere strictly to the rules and regulations outlined in the executive instructions for the 2023 FNC's elections. These measures collectively reflect the political acumen of the candidates while preserving the core values of the Emirati society.
For an optimal experience, please
