EC Chairperson Justice Simon Byabakama emphasized the importance of this exercise, stating that it allows voters to confirm the accuracy of their details, including names and photographs, and to report any anomalies such as deceased individuals, underage voters, or multiple registrations.
The display exercise is a critical component of Uganda’s electoral process, providing an opportunity for citizens to ensure the integrity of the voters’ register. The EC has deployed staff to all polling stations, operating daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., including weekends and public holidays, to assist voters during this period.
