Kuwaitis head to the polling stations tomorrow Saturday to elect their candidates in the 13th Municipal Council elections.

Two candidates have already been announced winners due to a lack of quorum in the required number of candidates in the seventh and tenth constituencies as per Article 25 of the Electoral Law.

Thirty-eight candidates including a woman, running in eight constituencies. The government will then appoint six members in the 16-seat Municipal Council.

The elections will be held in 443 committees distributed over 76 schools in eight electoral constituencies.

Kuwait Municipality was established in 1930, during which Kuwaiti citizens had a chance to elect their representatives in the Municipal Council, a historic development within Kuwait community.

Since its independence on June 19, 1961, the State of Kuwait witnessed 12 Municipal Council elections.
