A total of 94 officers have been trained in Isoka District in Muchinga Province ahead of the physical inspection of the Provisional Register of Voters scheduled to commence on Monday, March 2, 2026.
The briefing which was held at Isoka Town Council Chamber, was conducted by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) for 18 Police Officers and 76 Inspection Officers who will be deployed across all polling stations in the district during the exercise.
Speaking during the session on behalf of the District Electoral Officer, Isoka Constituency Assistant Registration Officer–Field (ARO-F) Belvin Mwale described the inspection exercise as a critical stage in the electoral process.
Mr Mwale explained that the exercise is a vital component of the electoral process that safeguards the credibility of elections, while urging Inspection Officers to ensure that citizens are fully assisted when verifying their voter details.
“As officers on the ground, you must ensure that every eligible voter is given the necessary support to confirm their details and that any errors identified are corrected within the inspection period.
As failure to verify details may disadvantage voters,” he said.
He further stressed the need for professionalism and diligence among officers.
“You must not undermine this exercise. The integrity of the voter register is fundamental to the transparency and credibility of the electoral process,” Mr Mwale added.
The ECZ has since encouraged all eligible voters in Isoka District to take part in the physical inspection of the Provisional Register of Voters in order to safeguard their right to vote.
Why all these? Has there been such an inspection in Zambia? Or is this another mungalato to come and deny legit voters from voting in some districts for HH to win? All parties must have their stations near voter centers where people can go if denied to vote to register complaint and challenge the officers to provide reasons and tangible evidence for denying the voter.
Police officers? From their Yes Bwana boss? This is a Muppet show
