Sources said the elections will most likely be conducted based on the voter’s address in the civil identification card and as per the record of the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI). A decree on necessity is expected to be issued soon to approve voting according to the information recorded in the civil identification card, while the correction of data in the electoral rolls is ongoing to make sure they are identical with those stated in the civil identification card.

Additionally, the Public Prosecution ordered the arrest of six candidates and organizers of primary elections, bringing the total number of people accused of participation in illegal activities to 15. Marzouq Al-Ghanim, the former Assembly Speaker, confirmed his father is in good health and denied rumors about his condition. People spreading such rumors should respect family privacy and refrain from dragging family members into political disputes.
