巴勒斯坦总统马哈茂德·阿巴斯周日将即将到来的立法选举提交候选人申请的期限从12天延长至18天，因为寻求注册的选举名单数量已增至七份。
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday extended the period for submitting candidacy applications for upcoming legislative elections from 12 to 18 days as the number of electoral lists seeking registration rose to seven.
巴勒斯坦官方通讯社瓦法社称，阿巴斯颁布了对2007年《大选法》的修正案。
The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said Abbas issued an amendment to the 2007 General Elections Law.
报道称，此举旨在给候选人更多时间完成申请，因以色列的军事和行政限制行动自由，以及东耶路撒冷、约旦河西岸和加沙地带困难的安全和政治局势。
It said the change was intended to give candidates more time to complete their applications amid Israeli military and administrative restrictions on movement and difficult security and political conditions in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
中央选举委员会周六开始受理定于11月28日举行的选举申请。投票计划在东耶路撒冷、约旦河西岸和加沙进行。
The Central Elections Commission opened applications Saturday for elections scheduled for Nov. 28. Voting is planned in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.
委员会周日在一份声明中表示，已收到第七个名为“凤凰”的选举名单的申请。周六收到其他六个名单的申请：未来巴勒斯坦联盟、正义与建设、团结与民主变革、穆斯塔法·巴尔古提领导的巴勒斯坦民族倡议和独立人士、新道路、和劳工。
In a statement Sunday, the commission said it had received an application from a seventh electoral list named Phoenix. It received applications Saturday from six others: the Future Palestine Coalition, Justice and Construction, Unity and Democratic Change, the Palestinian National Initiative of Mustafa Barghouti and independents, New Path, and Labor.
委员会表示，提交申请并不意味着名单已获批准。它将审查每份申请是否符合法律要求并包含必要的表格和文件，然后在提交后三天内通知申请人其决定。
Submitting an application does not mean a list has been approved, the commission said. It will check whether each application meets the legal requirements and includes the necessary forms and documents, then notify the applicants of its decision within three days of submission.
候选人只能通过选举名单而非个人身份竞选132个席位的巴勒斯坦立法委员会。每个名单必须至少包含16名候选人，不超过132名，同时满足女性代表的法定最低要求。
Candidates may run for the 132-seat Palestinian Legislative Council only through electoral lists rather than individually. Each list must include at least 16 candidates and no more than 132 while meeting the legal minimum for women’s representation.
根据8月颁布的总统令，每个名单的前三名候选人中必须至少有一名女性，此后每四个名额中至少有一名女性。
Under a presidential decree issued in August, each list must include at least one woman among its first three candidates and one woman in every four subsequent places.
委员会的时间表将11月6日定为竞选活动开始日期，11月26日为安全部队提前投票日期。
The commission’s timetable sets Nov. 6 as the start of election campaigning and Nov. 26 for early voting by security personnel.
阿巴斯于7月9日发布法令，将选举日期定为11月28日。如果举行，这将是自2006年以来的首次巴勒斯坦立法选举，也是巴勒斯坦立法委员会成立以来的第三次选举，此前曾于1996年和2006年举行投票。
Abbas set the Nov. 28 election date in a decree issued on July 9. If held, it would be the first Palestinian legislative election since 2006 and the third since the establishment of the Palestinian Legislative Council, following votes in 1996 and 2006.
自2007年巴勒斯坦内部政治分裂以来，该委员会的工作一直处于暂停状态，巴勒斯坦宪法法院于2018年下令将其解散。原定于2021年举行的立法和总统选举被阿巴斯推迟，理由是以色列未保证被占领东耶路撒冷的巴勒斯坦人能够参与投票。
The council’s work has been suspended since the Palestinian political division in 2007, and the Palestinian Constitutional Court ordered its dissolution in 2018. Legislative and presidential elections planned for 2021 were postponed by Abbas, who cited the lack of Israeli assurances that Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem could participate.
