The Electoral Commission of Zambia – ECZ has officially launched the voter registration exercise for 2015.
Speaking during the launch at Lusaka’s Roma Girls Secondary School on Monday, ECZ chairperson Esau Chulu said the exercise has started in designated centres in all the districts.
Justice Chulu said the commission has provided for any person who will turn 18 years before or on July 31st 2016 to register as a voter.
He said this is meant to encourage many eligible people to register. He added that the exercise is scheduled to go on until November 11, this year.
Justice Chulu officers will spend 14 days at all the centres that have opened today.
He said the officers will move to the next set of centres for another 14 days until all registration centres are covered.
Justice Chulu said voter registration will also be carried out at all district council offices from September 14, 2015 to March 31, 2016.
He said the commission has since asked for a waiver of the fees for a police report.
Justice Chulu said the commission will also transfer voters from one polling station to another on request.
