Overview

A voting centre is any place dedicated in each emirate for the members of the Electoral College to cast their ballots in the electoral process.

The electoral process will start at 8am on the set election day in each emirate and will continue till 7pm on the same day. Voting will go beyond 7pm if voters in the election hall are found not to have cast their ballots and will continue until all of them have voted. Subsequently, the person in charge of the voting centre committee will announce that the electoral process is over.

A voter must not stay in the election hall after casting his/her ballot and a candidate or his representative must neither attend the voting process nor the ballot sorting process.
