Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree Sunday extending the nomination period for legislative elections from 12 to 18 days, according to Shehab Wire. The measure amends the 2007 election law and its subsequent modifications governing general elections.
The extended timeframe provides candidates additional opportunity to register for the upcoming legislative vote, though no election date was announced in the decree.
