Election Commission Launches Portal for Candidate Registration

In preparation for the upcoming local council elections, the Maldives Election Commission has launched a new digital portal titled 'My Portal' to streamline the registration process for candidates. This initiative aims to simplify the submission of required documents and ensure transparency in the election process. Candidates must provide verified credentials, including a list of 50 supporters who have voted in their favor during previous elections. The portal’s launch marks a significant step towards modernizing the electoral system, making it more accessible and efficient for all parties involved. The Election Commission emphasized that this tool will enhance the integrity of the election process by allowing candidates to upload necessary documents digitally and track their application status online. The Commission also mentioned that records verified by the Department of Judicial Administration and Maldives Correctional Service will be considered valid for submissions. For further inquiries, candidates can contact the Election Commission at 1414.
