In the lead-up to the 2024 elections, the Electoral Commission (EC) has announced a significant voters’ register update. On October 15, 2024, the EC convened with political parties, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), and donor partners to discuss the re-exhibition of the Provisional Voters Register (PVR). This update is crucial as it allows all stakeholders to verify their details and ensure the accuracy of the voters’ register ahead of the elections. The 2024 Elections Voters’ Register Update is essential for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
At the meeting, the EC provided soft copies of the revised provisional register to all political parties and Independent candidates. This is to allow the parties and candidates to identify any discrepancy in the revised voters’ register and report back to the Commission. The revised voters’ register which is being exhibited is an improvement of what was initially exhibited in August this year.
Voters can check their details via the short code *711*51# or visit the EC’s website to verify their details. The EC also urged the public to report any identified discrepancy in their details to the district offices of the Commission for correction.
The EC says corrections will not be allowed after the re-exhibition exercise. “Once the Re-Exhibition Exercise ends on Saturday, 19th October, voters will still be able to check their details online but cannot request for correction of their details,” the Commission stated.
The EC has also provided the list of Polling Stations to the Political Parties. There are 40,647 Polling Stations and 328 Special Voters
