IEC declares yet another supplementary voter registration :: Mmegi Online

The Independent Electoral Commission Botswana (IEC) has declared yet another supplementary voter’s registration period after a 38% significant shortfall in the target of registered voters. Currently the figure stands at 810 974 which translates to 62% of their targets.

The decision comes after the just ended supplementary registration which was only held at the IEC offices failed to attract the desired number of registered voters ahead of the 2024 General Election. From the first supplementary IEC spokesperson Osupile Maroba stated that they managed to register only 74 550 voters which is not really what they were hoping for.

In explaining the impediment registration, Maroba highlighted that the IEC will be resorting to the set up used in general voters’ registration. He further indicated that the next voters' registration will run for two weeks.
