The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) has made public a provisional electoral list of 1,785,036 voters throughout the national territory. These voters are distributed among 4729 polling stations inside the country and abroad. A period of ten days is open for corrections and rectifications, at the end of which the list will be definitively validated. It appears from this census that the Wilaya of Trarza has the most voters with 236,512 registered, followed by Hodh Charghi, with 197,519, Brakna, with 180,085, Assaba, 164,442, Hodh Gharbi, with 152,255, Nouakchott West 141921, Gorgol with 135491, North Nouakchott with 120387, South Nouakchott with 119368, Guidimakha with 91825, Nouadhibou with 66423, Tagant with 55833, Adrar with 53094, Tiris with 27853 , of the diaspora, with 22,288. The Inchiri brings up the rear with 19,740.
This list stems from the administrative electoral census (RAVEL), launched on January 27 and then extended by 15 days, from February 27 to March 13, 2023, in consultation with the political parties. The objective is to allow all Mauritanians to register on the electoral list to fulfill their civic duty. It was at the end of this work that the provisional list was drawn up.
Remember that Mauritanians will go to the polls on May 13, at the end of an electoral campaign which will open on April 28, 2023. The 1st and 2nd rounds are scheduled for May 13 and 27. And that 25 political parties will dispute the suffrage of Mauritanians for the municipal, regional, that is to say 1469 lists and legislative. For the latter, the political parties continue to refine their lists.
