The demands were made at a recent Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) 2024 General Elections Evaluation Meeting in Francistown. The Principal Elections Officer of the IEC in Francistown, Itumeleng Gabaake, told the participants that the purpose of the meeting was to gather input from various stakeholders on how to enhance voting in Botswana.
During the stakeholders meeting, Karel Ludick, chairperson of the New Somerset Society, called on the powers that be to consider introducing electronic voting (e-voting). E-voting is whereby voters can vote from their home, in another country, or at a kiosk in a polling station provided that they had earlier registered to vote.
