The Independent High Electoral Commission has announced a change in the timing of the draw for the numbering of political parties and coalitions participating in the upcoming elections.


Bilal Samarai, head of the draw committee, told Al-Sabah on Thursday that the draw will now be held next Saturday at 6:00 PM, instead of the previously scheduled time of 11:00 AM.


He explained that the postponement aims to facilitate the attendance of political party representatives and media outlets. According to Samarai, all preparations for conducting the draw have been completed.


In a related development, the commission previously confirmed that the deadline for polling station staff registration has ended, and that Sunday marks the final day for submitting forms to polling centers.
