About this statute

This Order sets out who sits on each National Council’s Executive Committee, where they are elected, who the electoral college members are, the candidate requirements, and how the elections are conducted. This Order applies to the election of the Executive Committees of the National Women Council, the National Youth Council, and the National Council of Persons with Disabilities. A person must not vote outside their residence area or if they are not part of the relevant electoral college. Candidates campaign in person, and campaigning on behalf of a political organisation is prohibited. This article sets voting methods: village voters line up behind their chosen candidate, while elections at higher local and national levels use secret ballot; vote counting and result announcement are also regulated.
