Algerian parliamentary elections to kick off on Thursday
Algiers - Arab Today
Algerian voters will go to the polls on Thursday to elect a new parliament
Algerian lawmakers are elected by direct universal suffrage for a five-year term in the 462-seat lower house, the BBC reported.
Seats are allocated proportionally according to the number of votes obtained by party lists. Eight seats are reserved for Algerian expatriate communities in four overseas districts.
More than 23 million people are eligible to vote for 11,334 candidates from 50 different political parties, as well as a handful of independents.
Following a constitutional amendment introduced last year, parliament will for the first time be consulted before a new prime minister is named by the president.
