- 16 -They were called "cleaners" for extracting voter lists from old records and adding the name of each person who met the new election conditions to them. The lists were extracted and sealed in early August, and it became clear that the number of people registered in the new lists reached about two million voters. These voters were then divided into fifties according to the law. This division in villages was based on the quotas of their sheikhs, and in cities, it was based on the people of the same quarter. After the lists of eligible voters were posted and the voters knew their contents, the first electoral activity began in late October. At that time, delegates were chosen to represent the eligible voters in electing the members of the Assembly. This election took place on December 13th, and some of it was repeated on December 20th. The result was that 43 constituencies elected their members by an absolute majority on December 13th, and 23 constituencies re-elected on the 20th of the same month.

In the weeks that passed between the selection of delegates and the election of members to the Assembly, the candidates for this election sought to win over the delegates by all usual means of election. The most prominent means they relied on was showcasing their plans. They held many meetings and delivered numerous speeches. The process was not without criticism, accusations, and allegations, but nothing occurred to disturb the peace. People's interest in the election intensified, and the market for boasting and debate, and the stirring of emotions, became active among them, after silence had prevailed in the initial stages. The newspapers misunderstood the method by which delegates voted, making people think that the populace was indifferent to the election. However, the voters knew that choosing delegates was not the final matter and kept their attention for the actual elections of the Legislative Assembly. These elections, for the first time according to the new law, went very well, both in their conduct and their results. They were not without disputes and accusations of bribery, but the evidence for them was not sufficient in most cases. The Native Court of Appeal did not nullify a single election due to bribery. In my opinion, the new election law was implemented well and with minimal issues for everyone. The election was completed with full regularity and in a manner that deserves praise for those who conducted it.
