The mechanisms of the electoral process

Already dissociated themselves when issued the election law adopted the principle of an open list. Which was public demand urgent due to the problem suffered by the people, when elements that had infiltrated into not qualified or unacceptable in the previous legislative elections which produced the US leaders of (opulent them!!!!!!!) carrying the name of this capacity and do not have the components or specifications for nothing in heedlessness of time?

I say we welcome and envisage us attempting we in the elections of the governorate councils would have real freedom in the choice of our candidates in isolation from the lists or diagnosed and screened on the lists of the least but UNHCR not only make the popularity of highly qualified candidates and the sounds that they will get it (which is certainly much more than the electoral denominator required ) in the service of others from their lists of shame as it has potential.. with it gave the candidates the right to rearrange their sequence inside the list on the basis of the number of votes.

It may be the voter willing to give voice to a certain candidate without his list multiple reasons why forced to signal mode on the list of the candidate in addition to the reference to the sequence to be electoral paper are correct? While the reference to list number only makes it is correct. Let the freedom of choice of electors in this subject and facilitate it.

Of note seats distribution system No. (15), the year 2008 of the independent High Commission for elections, we find that the calculation of votes and the distribution of seats (in steps 1 and 2 (mainly serve the wording of a closed list (although renamed open ) through the use of the electoral lists of the votes could be obtained by the candidates as a result of the mass weight or proven in favor of other candidates in these Lists not obtain voter confidence in addition to that of the electoral lists will benefit from the calculation of the total votes for candidates did not get the (the number of electoral denominator required) at the first step of this system (( Paragraph First: Is Calculating the Number of valid votes of the roster through the collection of the valid votes cast for each candidate list of political entity with the number of valid votes The Entity)).

Here we can say that the demand of the voter and the need to develop the dual reference the sequence of candidate with No. list until the correct paper would serve the paper ( right ) carrying a reference list only, i.e. it pours in the service of the political entity.

It can turn this situation to the sports equation:.

total votes obtained by = Number of votes obtained by the (even without the electoral denominator) x 2 of the number of votes the list (without reference to the sequencing of the candidate)

also means that nobody was injured in the service of (a closed list ) which is named (Open) in this system.

Catalogd will benefit from all the votes obtained by garnering (starting from the highest number to No. 1) without consideration to the electoral denominator. This total will be serviced by the access to the seats on the basis of the electoral denominator.

While the list individual or small and will, in the case of not getting the electoral denominator with loss for (figure multiplier in dual reference) it will not have the privilege of ((gathering the scattered parts and the weight of serves not his weight)). Therefore we will highlight others don't deserve the sites that will give them the result of this calculation.

. However, UNHCR can deal with the ballot paper on the basis of a single reference instead of two any that could enable the voter to choose a candidate or a list of competition is the distribution of seats on the basis of the highest votes obtained by each party with the electoral divider particular  candidate electoral Divider another election list is the distribution of seats on the basis with the retention of the list of the sequence of its candidates after removing the winning candidate of the list with the adoption of the financial insurance of candidates and lists confiscated in the absence of the requisite electoral denominator..

The process of the Department and the Organization of the elections is not an easy process, especially that the people want a truly democratic elections deserves to win to say that you won the confidence of the electorate will bear direct responsibility before God and the people in the performance of the Secretariat, the same secretariat entrusted to the independent High Commission for elections ... The hope is that consideration of this issue seriously not replicated in the coming legislative elections
