Abu Dhabi [UAE], September 4 (ANI/WAM): The election campaign phase for candidates running for the Federal National Council (FNC) 2023 elections will commence on Monday, September 11, as per the timetable approved by the National Election Committee (NEC).
According to the timetable, the campaign phase will last for 23 days, concluding on October 3, 2023. During this period, candidates will have the opportunity to express themselves, present their electoral programmes and engage in activities to persuade voters to choose them in the fifth cycle of FNC elections.
The NEC urged all candidates to adhere to the executive instructions for the elections, including regulations and campaign rules, as well as consider the penalties that may be imposed against violators, stressing the importance of reviewing the "Candidate and Voter Guide", which offers comprehensive answers to all election-related questions in a simplified and understandable format.
