Legislative Assembly Electoral Affairs Commission (CAEAL) President Seng Ioi Man has announced that there will be 37 polling venues for the upcoming direct and indirect legislative elections, where 38 polling stations for the direct election and five polling stations for the indirect election will be set up.
This year’s direct and indirect legislative elections are scheduled to be held on Sunday, September 14.
Seng made the remarks while speaking to reporters on Friday after chairing a regular closed-door meeting of the commission at the Public Administration Building in Rua do Campo.
Seng noted that this year’s direct and indirect legislative elections will have one more polling venue compared to the 36 in the previous elections in 2021.
Seng said that different to the 2021 elections when there was only one polling venue for the indirect election, this time there will be two polling venues for the indirect election.
The same as in 2021, there will be three polling stations for this year’s indirect election at the Macao Polytechnic University’s (MPU) Sports Stadium in Zape, but this time two additional polling stations will be set up at another venue, Kao Yip Middle School in Nape, according to Seng.
Seng said that in addition to polling stations for this year’s indirect election, the two venues, the MPU Sports Stadium and Kao Yip Middle School, will also have polling stations for the direct election.
