AWEPA: Sharp divisions over election law (1)

A wide gap has emerged in proposals for a new election law, with Frelimo arguing the present law is largely OK, while civil society wants substantive changes.
There is broad agreement that elections should be in the first week of October and that the calendar should be extended so that bureaucratic processes are not rushed and chaotic, as in the past. There is also agreement on national and international observation.

But there are clear divisions on:
+ Transparency,
+ Simplifying procedures for candidates,
+ The importance of election law violations (particularly by polling station staff) and how to deal with them, and
+ The size and role of the National Elections Commission (Comissão Nacional de Eleições, CNE).
