CEC: Azerbaijan has public interest in municipal elections

Azerbaijan has high public interest in holding repeated municipal elections, Central Election Commission (CEC) Chairman Mazahir Panahov said at a meeting on Thursday.

"The elections in 330 municipalities of 86 constituencies were announced," he said. "About 73 people have already applied for electing in 29 municipalities. About 63 took signature sheets. This gives us grounds to say that public interest in these elections is very high."

The CEC members will participate in the programs to enlighten the population, Panahov said.

The elections in the municipalities will be held in Azerbaijan on Nov. 30.
