The Electoral Commission of Zambia has suspended the continuous Registration of Voters in Kabwe District with immediate effect.
The suspension is due to a by-election in Lukanga Ward of Kabwe District in Central Province, scheduled to take place on Thursday, 19th September, 2024.
ECZ Corporate Affairs Manager, Patrica Luhanga, says the suspension is in line with the provisions of Section 12 (2) of the Electoral Process Act No. 35 of 2016 which states that, “the Commission shall, where it prescribes the polling day for a by-election, immediately suspend the registration of voters in the district in which the by-election is to take place until the by-election is concluded”.
“The voter registration centre will re-open on Friday, 20th September, 2024”, said Ms. Luhanga in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
