Summary

Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs Hon. Ephraim Kamuntu has told Parliament that the enormous and complex operational requirements of conducting the elections make it difficult for the Electoral Commission to re-open the registration exercise. According to the Electoral Commission roadmap, the update of the voters’ register ended on 17 December 2019. Prof. Kamuntu explained that according to the roadmap, already published by the Electoral Commission, nomination for special interest groups including youth, people with disabilities, army and workers are set to begin on 6 April 2020, adding that the nominations and processes must use the same voters register that are used in the general elections.
