NAMIBIA VOTES 2024 | 91% of eligible voters have registered to participate in the Presidential and National Assembly and Elections slated for November 27.

This means that a cumulative 1,467,604 potential voters registered within the country and at Namibian Diplomatic Missions abroad from June 3 to August 1, 2024.

The Kunene and Oshana regions have recorded the highest percentage of eligible voters at 97%, followed by Omusati, Ohangwena, Erongo, and |Khomas.

The two Kavango regions and Hardap have the lowest percentage of registered voters.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has extended gratitude to all registered voters and electoral stakeholders who "have demonstrated unwavering support towards ensuring effective voter education campaigns since the commencement of the GRV until its conclusion. The collective efforts of our stakeholders in supporting and enhancing the Commission’s communication drive and strategy to have eligible voters registered are invaluable. As per the 2024 Electoral Calendar, the Commission will now begin demobilising the registration teams, both locally and internationally, and return all registration materials and equipment to the ECN Head Quarters."

This exercise will be followed by the uploading of the registration data to the central server and the commencement of the Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) process, data segregation, and the production of the Provisional Voters Register (PVR).

The PVR will be published in the Government Gazette on August 29, 2024, and will be available for inspection and objections at designated locations (to be announced at a later stage) within the timelines set in the Electoral Calendar.
