Somalia 2016 Electoral Process
What is the 2016 electoral process for?
Under the Provisional Federal Constitution, the mandates of the Federal Parliament and the Federal President end in 2016. A political transition is therefore necessary to renew the country’s political institutions.
As one-person, one-vote elections are not yet possible, an electoral process has been developed to facilitate a more participatory process in 2016, compared to 2012, and to advance towards universal suffrage by 2020.
