How should names appear on candidate lists?

MP André Bauler asked the Minister of the Interior how exactly the names should appear on the candidate lists.

Il me revient que, contrairement à l’usage des dernières années électorales, il existe une divergence d’interprétation des textes légaux en ce qui concerne l’inscription des prénoms sur les listes prévues à cet effet.

La législation en vigueur prévoit en effet que les noms et les prénoms doivent être inscrits sur les listes à déposer. Or, à l’heure qu’il est, il nous est rapporté que le président d’un bureau de vote exige l’inscription de l’ensemble des prénoms tel qu’ils sont inscrits dans le registre national des personnes physiques et dans ce même ordre. Cette exigence peut mener à des situations inhabituelles, dans la mesure où le prénom sous lequel la personne est connue usuellement n’est pas identique à celui figurant sur la liste électorale.

Il va sans dire qu’une telle situation prête manifestement à confusion, au moment de l’élection au plus tard. Autrement dit, les électeurs doivent pouvoir reconnaître aisément les candidats qu’ils sont disposés à élire, notamment dans l’intérêt d’un bon fonctionnement de la démocratie locale.Vu que la date limite pour ce dépôt se rapproche, il va de soi qu’une clarification s’impose dans les plus brefs délais afin de garantir un traitement équitable des candidats concernés.

Second classroom support staff and A-EBS in cycle 1 of primary education

This second staff member could also play a key role in the rollout of Project Alpha, especially in preparing children for literacy in German or French. Furthermore, assistants for pupils with special educational needs (A-EBS) are set to ease the workload of specialised teachers. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino have submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister to clarify the implementation timeline and progress of these initiatives.
