According to this story, a committee appointed by the Egyptian military to suggest constitutional amendments will include easier ballot access. Current law says an independent candidate for President needs 250 signatures of members of Parliament or local councils. Because Hosni Murbarik’s party, the National Democratic Party, held virtually all these offices, it was in reality impossible for an independent presidential candidate to get on the ballot.
The committee will also include easier ballot access for parties. Under the old system, no party could get on the ballot unless it was approved by a committee controlled by the National Democratic Party.
Gee — how about EQUAL nominating petitions for ALL candidates for the same office in the same area ???
Pick some number or percentage — out of a Egypt hat.
Will Egypt have to liberate the U.S.A. from its EVIL ANTI-Democracy gerrymander regimes ???
What about Easter ballot access?
