Mzimba, May 29, mana: District Elections Officer for Mzimba Chrispin Chakhumbira has asked all registered voters in the district to go to their registration centres and verify their names in the voters’ register.
Chakhumbira made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting with M’mbelwa District Council’s district elections support (DEST) team, a briefing on preparedness ahead of the verification exercise which will run from 29th May to 31st May 2025.
Speaking during the meeting, Chakhumbira said all materials and staff have been deployed to all registration centres where people will do the verification.
“We have deployed all the materials such as verification machines, gensets and human resources to ensure that every registered voter should be able to verify their details in the system,’’ he said.
Team Leader for Mzimba Elections Team Henderson Kaliati said in Mzimba South they have 322 verification centres where people will go to do the verifications.
“We started deploying staff and machines three days ago and almost everything has been done. We are all set for the verification exercise,’’ said Kaliati.
Kaliati said registered voters going for verification should remember to carry the National Identity Card and the voter registration certificate to verify their names.
“Those who may fail to bring these should remember to give out their biographic details that would enable them to verify their names in the system,’’ he said.
Director of administration for M’mbelwa District Council Viston Mulungu said members of DEST are ready to render support to the verification process as well as to monitor the entire verification exercise.
