The Electoral Commission (EC) will begin this year’s limited voter registration process on Tuesday, May 7, ahead of the December 7 general elections.
The 21-day exercise concludes on Monday, May 27, 2024. It is intended for persons who have turned 18 years old since the previous registration to be registered in the national album.
The activity will take place in the EC’s district offices as well as in difficult-to-access electoral regions.
“Permanent centres will be set up at the District offices while mobile teams would be used to register eligible applicants in the difficult to access Electoral Areas. The list of registration centres will be provided to the Political Parties no later than twenty-one (21) days to the Registration exercise,” the EC noted.
Additionally, the Commission has kept the 2020 filing costs for the 2024 presidential and legislative elections.
These measures were agreed upon during an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting conducted on Thursday, March 7, at the European Commission headquarters.
