SANA'A, Nov. 12 – Many voters will recast their ballots on Dec. 19, according to the Supreme Commission for Elections and Referendum. These elections involve 160 polling centers where vote counting was called into question or initial nominations were prevented during the Sept. 20 elections.

Further, there will be parliamentary elections to fill vacant positions in two constituencies in Taiz and Hodeidah.

In a press conference, Mohammed Al-Sayani, head of the planning sector at the Supreme Commission for Elections and Referendum, said there will be a 10-day nomination period starting Nov. 15, followed by a five-day withdrawal period and then a campaigning period until Dec. 18.

Election administrators will receive centralized training in the commission's headquarters in accordance to mechanisms and measures used in the last presidential and local elections, according to Al-Sayani.

Finally, Al-Sayani assured that supreme commission will be careful to follow the same mechanisms that were used to form electoral committees during the September elections.
