The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has targeted to register over 3 million new voters during the upcoming Voter Registration Exercise, set to officially commence on 13th October 2025.
Speaking at the official opening of the Provincial Voter Education Training in Lusaka yesterday , Provincial Registration Officer Mr. Charleston Hamulyata highlighted the Commission’s commitment to ensuring a smooth and well-organized process. He emphasized that ECZ has adopted modern, needs-based training and capacity-building techniques to equip election officers with the necessary knowledge and skills.
Mr. Hamulyata noted that the ongoing five-day training for District Voter Education Trainers (DVETs) is a critical step, as they will later train Voter Education Facilitators (VEFs) across the country to ensure accurate and consistent voter education.
He further urged all eligible Zambians those aged 18 years and above and in possession of a green National Registration Card to take part in the exercise. He clarified that individuals who registered in 2020 or during the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) will not be required to register again.
Mr. Hamulyata stressed the importance of a coordinated, multi-sectoral, and ethical approach in delivering a successful voter registration exercise, calling on the media and public relations units in local authorities to intensify information dissemination so that communities are well informed.
Adding to this, District Voter Registration Officer Eng. Liftry Ndaba described the training as an opportunity for deeper engagement, knowledge sharing, and capacity building among election stakeholders.
The ECZ operates under Article 229 (9) of the Zambian Constitution and the Electoral Process Act No. 35 of 2016, which mandate the Commission to conduct voter registration and oversee the electoral process.
