ECN meets Otjozondjupa party representatives

OTJIWARONGO – Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) officials in Otjozondjupa on Tuesday held an informationsharing meeting with representatives of different political parties.

Political parties who were represented at the meeting are Swapo, the United Democratic Front (UDF) and Landless People’s Movement (LPM).

Various church organisations, the regional directorate of education, arts and culture, government garage, regional council officials and members of the Namibian Police also attended.

ECN Otjozondjupa regional electoral officer Victoria Amutenya introduced to the meeting the seven constituency supervisors of voter card registrations for Otjiwarongo, Otavi, Grootfontein, Tsumkwe, Okahandja, Omatako and Okakarara.

She further shared the voter education dates for each constituency, saying voter education officials will be disseminating information in the Otjiwarongo constituency until 27 April 2024.

Okahandja is next, followed by Omatako, Okakarara, Otavi and Tsumkwe last on 20 June this year.

“We therefore urge everyone present at this meeting to go out and share the information about the voter card registrations,which will run from 3 June to 1 August 2024.

Since there will be no supplementary registrations, all Namibians above 18 years should acquire their voter cards within that period, or they will not be allowed to participate in the elections,” she said.

Amutenya also urged political parties to mobilise members to register for voter cards.

She told the meeting that on 27 November 2024, all eligible Namibians will be expected to cast their votes in the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
