Sources from the Official Printing Services said the Interior and Local Communities Ministry, will receive more than 138 million voting papers.
Echorouk sources added that the figure is based on a set of indicators, such as the number of the electoral body, in the last process to cleanse the electoral lists , which resulted in a number that exceeded 21 million people, as it is also based in a number of candidates, who are competing in the elections, as a determinant factor for the number of voting cards which are needed to cover the event, even if a part of these cards will be thrown in a box, as the majority will find their way to the garbage and trash just like the signatures’ lists, that the candidate must submit within the file candidacy file, to the Constitutional Council.
It stands at the list of the 100 people who withdrew documents of the subscription candidacy for the Presidential Elections, before the Constitutional Council opens the doors for receiving the files, and before the council decides about receiving the 12 files, which it received at the process closure, which poses a series of questions, like whether the election law in the article on running in elections needs to be reviewed at least to put conditions that regulate the process of withdrawing the documents of participation, especially since it comes to 60.000 forms at least for each person showing the intention to run, and with a simple process for the financial cover that the process of signing in the forms which the “projects” of candidates for the presidency get for free, we find the operation costs the public treasury a very expensive bill, and ends at least in garbage and trash bags.
