Luanda – The regulations on electoral observation and on voting outside the country were approved Friday in Luanda at an extraordinary session of the National Electoral Commission (CNE).
In statements to the press, CNE spokesman Lucas Quilundo said that national observers can be citizens of legal age with active electoral capacity, while international observers must be invited and in a legal migration situation.
He said that national and international observers must express their interest to the CNE for accreditation.
The spokesman for the body in charge of organising the general elections said that observation should be by constituency and that the National Assembly can invite 50 observers, the Constitutional Court 24 , and the legalised political parties 18 observers.
Lucas Quilundo noted that the approved regulation does not limit the number of observers to the President of the Republic.
He added that voting abroad will take place at the same time as on national territory, upon presentation of an Identity Card.
