PUBLIC NOTICE

Inspection of Voters Roll

The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) is informing all registered voters, political parties, civil society organisations and the general public that it will open registration centres for inspection of the voters roll in two phases as follows Phase 1: from 24 to 28 March, 2014 Phase 2: from 1 to 5 April, 2014 During this period all registered voters are urged to go to the centres where they registered to inspect how their names, pictures and other registration details are appearing in the voters roll. Registered voters who lost their certificates should also go to the centres where they registered to get duplicate certificates which will enable them vote easily on May 20, 2014. The Commission is also urging the public that they should report deaths of their relatives so that they should be removed from the voters register. They should bring the voter certificate of the
1

deceased and a death certificate or a letter from a traditional leader or religious leader as evidence. The Commission will also process transfers for people who have moved away from the centres where they registered and they will be unable to go that centre on the polling day. These should go with their voter certificate to the centre where they wish to vote at and ask to be transferred to that centre. The voter inspection exercise will be conducted in phases to enable the Commission to place adequate teams in all wards with photographic equipment to attend to queries and issues that may arise.
