The committee receiving nomination papers for the 2024 presidential elections, headed by Counselor Ahmed Bandari, Director of the Executive Body of the National Elections Authority, closed the door for receiving nomination papers a little while ago, at five o’clock in the evening today, Saturday, for the third day of the period specified for candidacy.
The third day of the opening of nominations witnessed presidential candidate Abdel Fattah El-Sisi submitting his candidacy papers as the first official candidate in the 2024 presidential elections.
It is scheduled to continue submitting nomination papers daily, even on holidays and official holidays, from nine in the morning until five in the evening, until October 14.
The National Elections Authority prepared a large hall on the ground floor to receive candidates or their legal agents to submit their candidacy applications.
The steps for submitting an application for candidacy in the presidential elections at the headquarters of the National Elections Authority are for the candidate or his agent to withdraw the nomination form and then hand over the 20 nominations or 25 powers of attorney from the citizens’ endorsements to the members of the House of Representatives, which were collected in the notarization offices of the Real Estate Registry.
The committee examines the documents required from the candidate, which are: a copy of the national ID card, the birth certificate of the applicant for candidacy, an official copy of the qualification obtained, the criminal status newspaper for the applicant, a certificate that he performed military service or was exempted from it in accordance with the law, and a financial disclosure statement stipulated in Law No. 62 of 1975 in Regarding illegal earnings, the candidate’s medical report and the signature of the applicant’s declaration that he is Egyptian with Egyptian parents, and that neither he nor any of his parents or spouse hold the nationality of another country, and the signature of an acknowledgment that he has not previously been convicted of a felony or a crime against honor or trust, even if He had his reputation restored, a statement of the chosen place where the applicant for candidacy would be notified of all the committee’s work related to him, and a receipt indicating the payment of twenty thousand pounds to the treasury of the National Elections Authority as a deposit that would be returned to him after the announcement of the election results, less the expenses of publishing and removing electoral posters, as the case may be.
After completing the legal procedures for candidacy, the candidate chooses an electoral symbol from among the 15 symbols that have been identified, which are the symbols of the star, the sun, the lion, the horse, the eagle, the rooster, the scale, the plane, the watch, the palm tree, the boat, the umbrella, the telephone, the glasses, and the ladder.
It is worth noting that the National Elections Authority had announced the timetable for the procedures and dates for the presidential elections, which included opening the door for nominations on October 5 for a period of ten days ending on October 14, with the voting process for Egyptians abroad taking place on December 1, 2, and 3, and inside December 10, 11, and 12.
