The regional state of Puntland will elect its President and legislators directly.
This emerged in an announcement presented by the Puntland Electoral Commission (PEC) on Monday.
PEC announced that one-person-one-vote (1P1V), which is also known as universal suffrage, would be the preferred mode of voting for new leaders in the regional state.
Puntland is scheduled to hold regional polls on February 25, 2024.
Initially, the region was to hold its polls on January 8, 2023, indirectly. However, PEC now urges voters to prepare to vote for their preferred candidates directly.
