The Electoral Commission (EC) released a roadmap to display the National Voters Register, scheduling the exercise to commence on 17th April 2025 and end on 8th May 2025; however, there has been a change. The Commission on Tuesday announced that this exercise has been rescheduled and will now commence on 25th April 2025 and conclude on 15th May 2025.
Similarly, the display of the Voters Registers for Special Interest Groups (Youths, Persons with Disabilities, and Older Persons), which was earlier scheduled to commence on 17th April and continue until 28th April 2025, has also been rescheduled and will now commence on 25th April and conclude on 8th May 2025.
Further, the display period for the recommendations on inclusions and deletions, if any, from the respective Parish Tribunals in line with Section 26(2) of the Act will now run from Friday, 16th May, 2025, to Monday, 26th May, 2025, at the respective parishes countrywide.
The Electoral Commission appealed to all stakeholders in the electoral process to participate in the display of the Voters Register and follow the guidelines that will be issued for the exercise being conducted in preparation for the 2025/2026 General Elections.
