Mauritania plans national elections

2011-05-27

In preparation for next fall's municipal and legislative elections, Mauritania will begin revising the national electoral rolls on June 1st, ANI reported on Thursday (May 26th). The interior ministry said it would rely on the list from the 2009 presidential election because the vote was based on the consensual Dakar Agreement. The 2009 rolls, however, do not list some 600,000 voters, including 200,000 returnees from Senegal who lack national identity documents.
