Legislative Assembly Electoral Affairs Commission Elections (CAEAL) President Tong Hio Fong announced on Wednesday that the overall budget for November’s by-election of an indirectly-elected seat in the Legislative Assembly (AL) has been set at 3.28 million patacas.
Tong spoke to reporters after a regular meeting of the commission at the Public Administration Building in Rua do Campo.
Tong said that based on information provided by the CAEAL secretariat, the expenditure of the by-election would mainly result from various electoral tasks, including the printing of posters, ballots and candidacy platforms and the broadcasting of campaign spots by local TV and radio channels, as well as the setting-up of polling stations and personnel training.
