Statute overview

About this statute

This provision states that the Organic Law sets the conditions and procedures for conducting elections. This article defines key election terms used in the law, including Commission, voter, candidate, polling station, and electoral coordinator. This provision says the Organic Law applies to presidential, legislative, decentralised local authority, National Councils, Abunzi Committee, and referendum elections. The Commission is the election body, must ensure election laws are followed, may issue needed instructions, and appoints electoral volunteers. Eligible Rwandan citizens must register on the voters’ register before the registration period ends, and no one may register more than once.
