EC Revises Retirement Guidelines Paving Way for Retirement of Four Members
The Elections Commission revised its retirement guidelines on 28 February 2024, allowing staff with 15 years of service to retire at 55 and former staff serving as commission members with 10 years of cumulative service to retire regardless of age, which makes four commission members eligible. The guidelines also set remuneration and pension terms, while other independent institutions' petition to parliament for a pension law remains unaddressed.
