Lilongwe, February 5, Mana: Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) says it is satisfied with how the Supplementary Voter Registration Exercise has been conducted.

MEC commenced the Supplementary Voter Registration Exercise on January 21, 2025, and concluded on February 3, 2025. The exercise was among others to ensure that those who did not register during the voter registration process should have the opportunity to register and exercise their voting rights in forthcoming general elections.

“It has been a successful exercise and we are satisfied with how it has been conducted. We managed to run all the centres as scheduled. No centre warrants us to extend the voter registration period that we provided for” Sangwani Mwafulirwa, MEC’s spokesperson.

MEC’s spokesperson, Sangwani Mwafulirwa also revealed that MEC will run the transfer window which will be opened later this month. The transfer window intends to give an opportunity for people who might have moved from the places where they registered or for those who foresee that by September 16, 2025, they will be in places other than where they registered.

Mwafulirwa has argued people to use the transfer window as there will be no transfer during the voting day.
