Three main points emerged from the discussions: the duration of submitting the lists, obtaining the criminal record, and the format of the ballot papers. According to the Minister of the Interior, a consensus was reached on the need to slightly extend the deadline for submitting lists. However, he stressed that this decision would have technical repercussions on the production of bulletins. Concerning questions related to ballots and criminal records, the competent services will be informed, the minister said.
Finally, Jean Baptiste Tine announced the establishment of a “permanent consultation framework” between the Ministry of the Interior and political actors, with the aim of improving the institutional system.
