The Electoral Commission of Namibia has commended Namibians for participating in this year's elections peacefully and in numbers, which affirms the country's democratic maturity.

Some 5,042 police officers will be deployed to 2,521 polling teams, covering 4,677 polling stations countrywide, in preparation for the Presidential and National Assembly elections on Wednesday.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia's Chairperson, Elsie Nghikembua, said she is satisfied with the smooth and efficient progress of the special voting process, with a strong turnout among the security cluster and Namibians voting abroad. 

The Electoral Commission of Namibia's (ECN) De Wet Siluka has warned the public to refrain from spreading false information in relation to the elections.

Siluka emphasised the importance of verification of information from ECN before sharing it.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has condemned violence and intimidation among political parties as the country approaches elections. 

The electoral process has progressed smoothly, as no objections were raised against the inclusion of names on the Provisional Voters Register by the deadline of September 4, 2024.

ECN spokesperson De Wet Siluka confirmed this to nbc-news.

The Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) and the Christian Democratic Voice (CDV) are challenging their deregistration by the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) over their non-compliance with the Electoral Act of 2014.
