BAKU: Mazahir Panahov, Chairman of the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Azerbaijan, emphasized the need for legislative amendments regarding the deadlines for withdrawing candidacies, Trend reports. "Election commissions must urgently provide us with information on candidates who have withdrawn their candidacies. We need to contact the election commissions and verify candidate details using their ID cards. This is crucial, as ballots must be finalized 10 days before the elections. The most problematic issue is that candidates can withdraw their candidacy up to 10 days before the election. In the future, we must amend the Electoral Code to address this," Panahov stated during a briefing today. On June 28, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed a decree dissolving the sixth convocation of the Azerbaijani Parliament and scheduling a snap election for September 1.
