Registered Voter: Candidates must be registered voters, demonstrating a personal commitment to the democratic process. This requirement reinforces the importance of understanding and participating in the electoral system one will be supporting.
Political Neutrality: To preserve the IEC’s impartiality, candidates must not have held political office, been political candidates, or been actively involved in political campaigns within the last five years. This criterion ensures that the IEC staff can carry out their duties without bias or conflict of interest.
