Electoral Commission has announced that it will conduct residual elections on 12th March in areas where previous polls for LC3, Town Council, and Municipal Division Chairpersons and councillors were not held. These elections had been postponed in some locations due to various challenges, but the Commission is determined to ensure that all eligible voters get their chance to participate.
The Commission has issued clear instructions to all its District Returning Officers and staff at every level to ensure that no area is overlooked. This preparation is part of a wider effort to strengthen local governance and make sure every community is represented. By taking these steps, the EC aims to uphold the principles of democracy and fairness, ensuring that local leaders are chosen by the people they serve.
Officials say that the March 12th elections are an important opportunity for communities to engage directly in decision-making processes. Voter education campaigns and logistical preparations are already underway to guarantee smooth voting and counting. The Electoral Commission emphasizes that these elections are not just procedural, but a critical step in empowering citizens and reinforcing accountability in local government.
With the countdown to March 12th underway, the message is clear: every area will vote, every voice will count, and the democratic process will continue to strengthen across the nation.
