Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has rescheduled the dates for the registration of voters to November 9, 2020 instead of October 28, 2020.
ECZ Chief Electoral Kryticous Nshindano said the registration exercise which was scheduled to commence on October 28 2020 to November 30, 2020 will now be conducted from November 9 to December 12, 2020.
Speaking when he addressed journalists in Lusaka today, Mr Nshindano said the extension to start the mobile voter registration will give an opportunity to a good number of eligible citizens to acquire national registration cards that will enable them to register as voters.
Mr Nshindano stated that the Commission will proceed with voter registration as scheduled regardless of the conclusion of issuance of NRC’s.
He appealed to the Ministry of Home Affairs to swiftly conclude the exercise of issuing of NRC’s as it is a prerequisite in the voter registration.
He disclosed that the commission has so far recorded 130 thousand people who have pre-registered online.
Mr Nshindano further added that the ongoing online voter pre-registration which began on the September 21, 2020 will close on the November 20, 2020.
“I wish to reiterate that online pre-registration is not final. It is meant to help in speeding up the process of voter registration and in making sure that the electorate can have access to a service which enables them to begin the process of registration from any location,” he said.
He explained that people who will pre-register online will still be required to present themselves at a registration center in order to get fully registered and obtain a new voters card.
He further explained that eligible citizens including those who are on the current register of voters must register again to obtain a new voters card as the current voters card will not be used in the 2021 general elections.

This freak also!
Prostitutes change mind all the time. They reschedule until you pay them, most of the time in full.
Stick to one partner.
“…He disclosed that the commission has so far recorded 130 thousand people who have pre-registered online…..”
So , because kapoyongo is a crook , if half of those voters are indeed fake reg card holders , all PF have to do is stuff ballot boxes with votes from those fake reg cards
this is a massive loop hole for rigging by PF,
UPND and other opposition should demand to see the IP addresses from which those online registrations were made from.
They will find many were made from the same IP address
He disclosed that the commission has so far recorded 130 thousand people who have pre-registered online.
I almost did it online, then I was told I still have to present myself physically, that how I ABORTED THE MISSION. Will just go and register physically, kaili am physically fit for such tasks.
But one month is not enough, this idea of extending voter registration is not good. From the time I got my voters card this activity is always extended to about 3 to 4 months. one month yachepa bane.
Why can’t NRC and voter registration run concurrently with voter registration running from 15-20 days after NRC registration ends?
First time NRC is obtained at 16 years whilst voting age is 18 years.I see very little corelation between first time NRC issuance and voter registration.Unless someone did not obtain their NRC at 16 years which is very unlikely in a country of job seekers and NRC is a requirement.
“…..He disclosed that the commission has so far recorded 130 thousand people who have pre-registered online…”
Opposition parties should demand to see the IP addresses from which those voters were registered.
They will mulitiple fake reg cards being registered from the same IP address…..
“…He disclosed that the commission has so far recorded 130 thousand people who have pre-registered online….”
Opposition should check the IP addresses from where those reg cards were registered , they will find multiple registrations from certain IP addresses….
@ Kaizar Zulu do get some rest and get well soon. Lots of fluids and rest should do the trick.
