Originally scheduled for March 1st, the deadline for candidate applications has been postponed. In a press release published on Friday, March 1, 2024, the electoral commission extended the period for submission and processing of candidate files for senators, provincial governors, and deputy governors until the following March 8th.
The CENI justified this postponement by the pursuit of broader inclusivity and financial constraints. This democracy support institution also urges coalitions, political parties, and other independent candidates to ensure that their forms and accompanying documents are duly signed and submitted.
