ABU DHABI - The National Election Committee (NEC) has
announced that voting for the Federal National Council (FNC) abroad will begin
on Sunday and will continue for two days (20th and 21st September) at 94
polling stations designated by the NEC and approved by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (MoFA).
The list includes 94 stations at UAE diplomatic missions,
including embassies and consulates.
Members of the Electoral College can check the address of
the diplomatic missions abroad by visiting the website of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs: www.mofa.gov.ae or the National Election Committee:
www.uaenec.ae.
The NEC urged citizens to confirm if their names are on the
voters’ list in order to enable them to cast their vote on election day. The
names can be verified by visiting www.uaenec.ae or through NEC’s call centre
600500005.
Tariq Lootah, undersecretary of the Ministry of State for
FNC Affairs and the chairman of the Election Management Committee, said the NEC
and MoFA have finalised all arrangements for voting outside the UAE as per
standards, which he said are the highest in the world, in order to ensure
accuracy, transparency and integrity of the elections.
Lootah added that the overseas polling stations are part of
the NEC's efforts to enable nationals who have to be abroad to exercise their
right to vote and elect their representatives. –end-
