Lilongwe, May 29, Mana: District Commissioner for Lilongwe, Lawford Palani, has urged people in the district to go for voter verification to confirm if their personal details are correct.

Palani was speaking in an interview with Malawi News Agency (MANA) Thursday at the beginning of the voter verification exercise in the district.

“This is the right time for everyone who registered to go and check if his or her particulars were correctly registered. This exercise is only for three days in each district so let the people take it seriously,” he said

Palani assured all the people whose particulars were not correctly captured to submit their concerns saying they will be assisted during the exercise.

Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Coordinator for Lilongwe East, Madalo Nyambose, said the Commission is ready to sort out any irregularities that people will bring forth during the exercise before coming up with the final voter register.

“This is an important exercise which should be taken seriously. Apart from going to registration centres, people can check their particulars on their mobile phones by dialing *2509# and follow instruction. If they have concerns, we still encourage them to go to the centres where they registered and they will be assisted,” she said.

Phase three of voters’ verification starts from May 29 to 31, 2025 in Mzimba, Lilongwe, Lilongwe City, Mangochi, Mangochi Municipality, Mwanza, Chikwawa, and Nsanje.

MEC is conducting the exercise to allow registered voters verify their details and give room for correction of errors before polling day.
