About this statute

This provision says the law governs elections of local administrative leaders at District and City of Kigali levels, while elections at Village, Cell, and Sector levels are determined by a Presidential Order. The National Electoral Commission prepares and organizes the elections of the local administrative leaders referred to in Article 1. Local leader elections at District and Kigali City level must use direct or indirect voting and secret ballot; elections at village, cell, and sector level may be non-secret, and all votes count equally. This provision says which local administrative organs are elected at District and Kigali City level: the Council, the Executive Committee, and the Bureau of the Council. Local leaders in Districts and Kigali City serve five-year terms, with replacement elections required after absence unless six months remain in the term; the local government minister must notify the National Electoral Commission within 30 days when a leader leaves office.
