This document outlines the process for electing members of parliament in Cameroon. It discusses the qualifications for electors, which include being Cameroonian, at least 23 years old, and registered on the electoral register. It also lists incompatibilities that prohibit certain people like government members or those convicted of crimes from being candidates. The nomination process requires candidates to submit nomination papers within 15 days of the convening of electors, including documents like birth certificates and tax records. Both main and alternate candidates must pay a 1 million CFA franc deposit. Elections are held every 5 years for the 180 seats, with consideration for gender and ethnic diversity.
