About this statute

This provision says the law governs elections of local administrative leaders in Districts and the City of Kigali, while elections at Village, Cell, and Sector levels are set by a Presidential Order. The National Electoral Commission prepares and organizes the elections of local administrative leaders covered by article 1. Local leader elections at District and Kigali City level must be by direct or indirect suffrage and secret ballot; village, cell, and sector elections may be non-secret, and all votes count equally. At District and Kigali City level, the Council, Executive Committee, and Bureau of the Council are the local administrative organs eligible for election. Local leaders elected for District and City of Kigali serve five years, and vacancies are filled by election unless six months or less remain in the term.
