ECN begins voter registration for Moses //Garoëb by-election


THE Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) is conducting supplementary registration of voters for the Moses //Garoëb constituency by-election in the Khomas region from today until Wednesday.

The registration points will be open from 08h00 to 21h00.

In a media statement, ECN chief electoral and referenda officer Theo Mujoro said the elections follow the untimely death of Aili Venonya, who died earlier this month.

“In terms of the Regional Councils Act, if a vacancy occurs in a particular constituency office, the ECN is obliged in terms of the law to conduct a by-election in that particular constituency within 90 days from the date the vacancy has occurred,” Mujoro explained.

He added that the Moses //Garoëb constituency by-election is scheduled for 6 January 2023.

“The ECN herewith informs the electorate and the Namibian nation at large that the supplementary registration of voters for the Moses //Garoëb constituency is on course,” he said.

Mujoro said 41 206 voters are currently registered in the Moses //Garoëb constituency.

“The ECN has recruited 90 registration officials for this process,” he added.
