As Uganda prepares for its next electoral cycle, the Electoral Commission is launching a critical nationwide exercise, the display of the National Voters Register and registers for Special Interest Groups (Youths, Persons with Disabilities, and Older Persons).
Beginning April 25, 2025, and running daily from 8:00am to 6:00pm at all polling stations, this exercise is more than just an administrative step it’s a call to action for every eligible voter.
In the democratic process, every vote matters. But before you can cast that vote, your name must be on the voters register accurately. The upcoming display exercise offers a rare opportunity to verify your details, correct any errors, and ensure that your voice is counted come polling day.
Whether you recently registered, changed your location, or are a member of a Special Interest Group, this is your moment to confirm that everything is in order.
What to Expect
During the exercise, the Electoral Commission will make available:
The National Voters Register: your name, photograph, and polling information should all be correct.
Special Interest Group registers: tailored lists for youths, PWDs, and older persons, ensuring inclusive electoral participation.
All polling stations across the country will be involved, making it easier for every citizen to access their information locally.
Your Role in Shaping Democracy
