Poll supervisors will be allowed to vote – ministry
Public service employees tasked with manning polling centers during election day on June 7 will be able to vote, pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat reported Friday.
It said the Justice Ministry has recently received a memorandum from the Interior Ministry setting June 4 as a voting date for city employees who will be supervising the election process.
Al- Hayat quoted senior Justice Ministry sources as saying the number of public service employees to take part in the "extraordinary" voting day is between 11,000 to 12,000. The sources said around 5,200 polling centers are to be distributed among electoral constituencies, with one station for every 800 voters and two workers manning each one.
