Skip Navigation LinksHome > News > POSTULATION DAY

The Central Voting Bureau is pleased to announce the schedule for Postulation
Day, Wednesday, November 22nd, 2023, at the House of Parliament.
On Postulation Day, representatives or deputy representatives from each political party will formally submit their candidate lists to the Central Voting Bureau. To facilitate an orderly process, each party has selected a specific time slot for submission, as listed below. Each party is urgently requested to arrive on time.

The venue for these activities, the Legislative Hall in the House of Parliament,
has been prepared to accommodate candidates and supporters accompanying
their party. The public tribune, with a seating capacity of 42, will host candidates and their supporters, while the lobby area will welcome an additional 20 persons.
The total occupancy of 62 persons is a measure to ensure the safety of all
persons. The KPSM will be present to maintain orderly conduct.

Only the (deputy) representative of the political parties to the Central Voting
Bureau and/or a candidate (e.g. a party leader or another desired candidate) will be allowed beyond the point of the public tribune to approach the Central Voting Bureau to submit the list of candidates and give a speech in the event he/she desires.

In consideration of the limited space and to facilitate a seamless transition
between parties, interviews with political leaders and/or party candidates by the
media will not be permitted inside the House of Parliament. Media
representatives are advised to arrange interviews in alternative locations.
The Central Voting Bureau anticipates a successful and orderly Postulation Day
and appreciates the cooperation of all political parties, supporters, and media in
complying with these guidelines.
