The preliminary lists have been handed over to the ECP for publication on Tuesday. Objections would be accepted until October 26, followed by hearings on objections until November 25.

The final lists are slated for release on November 30, after which the polls overseer has confirmed the elections would take place in the last week of January 2024.
