Eligible voters in the upcoming FNC elections will have their pick of 36 polling stations, nine of which are for people voting ahead of October 3.

In addition, 94 stations will be in place for overseas voters, the National Elections Committee said on Tuesday.

Set up in UAE diplomatic missions, including embassies and consulates, the locations will be announced on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' website, www.mofa.gov.ae, and the NEC's website, www.uaenec.ae.

Tariq Lootah, undersecretary of the Ministry of State for FNC Affairs, and head of the Elections Management Committee, said the criteria for inclusion ranged from geographical distribution, availability of service and compliance by stations to set designs and criteria approved by the committee responsible for preparing them.

“From the outset, the FNC has been committed to implementing the national elections in accordance with the highest standards of professionalism and transparency,” Mr Lootah said. “Voters will be able to exercise their franchise at any convenient location as there are a large number of polling stations all across the country.”

There will be 11 stations in the capital, six in Dubai, seven in Sharjah, five in Ras Al Khaimah, three in Fujairah and two each in Ajman and Umm Al Quwain.
