The electoral campaign has officially drawn to a close, giving way to the standard pre-election blackout period ahead of the polling date on July 2. Simultaneously, voting operations commenced on Monday across mobile polling stations deployed throughout several provinces of the Deep South, complying with statutory frameworks that permit 72-hour early voting in remote and isolated areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this context, political analyst Hacene Kacimi stated on Monday that this election represents a critical turning point in domestic political life, urging citizens to turn out in large numbers to vote. Speaking on Algerian National Radio, the analyst reviewed the structural evolution of the parliamentary institution since independence and the election of the Constituent Assembly on September 20, 1962. He remarked that “the hurdles facing parliament are directly tied to those of the state itself,” adding that “every branch of government holds a decisive role in the smooth operation of public institutions and the reinforcement of the rule of law.”<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the structural reforms introduced in recent years, particularly the updated regional administrative divisions and the expanded mandate given to the Independent National Authority for Elections (ANIE), Kacimi argued that these adjustments substantially increase the transparency and efficiency of the electoral process.<\/p>\n

“The core intention was to solidify the autonomy of ANIE, which now handles the preparation, management, and oversight of the entire balloting framework,” Kacimi explained, pointing out that “the civil administration is strictly restricted to logistical support, rendering the necessary personnel and material assets to guarantee the proper execution of the vote.”<\/p>\n

While awaiting the nationwide opening of standard polling facilities scheduled for July 2, ANIE announced via a press statement the launch on Monday of electoral operations through mobile voting stations across the southern provinces. This operational mechanism, allowing for a 72-hour head start, seeks to enable voters in scattered rural settlements to exercise their franchise according to established laws.<\/p>\n

According to regional ANIE branches, these mobile units are operating across the provinces of Ouargla, Illizi, In Guezzam, and Tamanrasset to ease ballot access for populations residing in far-flung territories.<\/p>\n

Within the El-Borma district of the Ouargla province, six mobile stations have opened to accommodate 8,597 registered voters, who will choose among eight competing lists. The province features a total of 531 voting stations catering to an entire electorate of 211,782 registered individuals, based on figures provided by ANIE.<\/p>\n

In In Guezzam, four mobile stations are servicing isolated pockets within the municipalities of In Guezzam and Tin-Zaouatine. Three have already started receiving citizens, while the fourth is slated for a 48-hour advanced schedule. Overall, 5,878 voters are targeted by this specialized setup.<\/p>\n

In Illizi and Tamanrasset, nine and seven mobile stations respectively are actively allowing residents of isolated zones to complete their civic obligations. Local ANIE officials confirmed that “all administrative and transport assets have been deployed to secure a seamless voting process throughout these remote sectors.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
