Palestinian Election Commission Launches AI Assistant To Educate Voters On New Law

RAMALLAH, Feb 6 (Bernama-WAFA) -- The Palestinian Central Elections Committee (CEC) has launched a public awareness campaign on the new election law, introducing an AI-powered digital assistant named “Nazih” (meaning ‘transparent’ in Arabic), based on the committee’s principles of integrity, transparency, neutrality and digital transformation.

In a statement, the CEC said “Nazih” allows citizens to receive accurate and prompt answers to all inquiries related to the upcoming elections on April 25, 2026, and the relevant legal framework, Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.

The assistant operates through the committee’s website, as well as WhatsApp and Facebook, providing direct access to official information on all stages of the electoral process.

This includes procedures for candidate registration, publication of and objections to the voter register, voting and participation mechanisms, seat allocation, women’s quotas, seats reserved for Islamic and Christian communities, and all aspects of the new election law.

The CEC emphasised that the initiative is part of its digital transformation policy, using modern tools to ensure the widest possible public access to information, enable citizens to follow the electoral process easily and transparently, and receive precise answers to their questions.

The committee added that “Nazih” is easily accessible via its social media pages or directly through its official website, allowing citizens to submit questions and receive immediate responses. The assistant demonstrated its effectiveness during a trial period in January.
