During this period, citizens were able to scrutinize the Voters\u2019 Register and report to the Display Officer any persons who should be removed, such as those who have died, are under 18 years old, reside or originate from a different parish, or appear more than once on the register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the display, the Commission will proceed to display lists of persons recommended for deletion or inclusion by the Tribunal from May 16 to 26, 2025. The Parish\/Ward Tribunal, appointed by the Magistrate of the area, will consider and make final decisions on recommendations for inclusion, deletion, or correction made by the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Byabakama highlighted the importance of cooperation and adherence to guidelines during the exercise, saying, \u201cThis exercise relies on collective efforts. Cooperation and adherence to guidelines will be key to its success.\u201d The EC has urged all stakeholders, including political parties, civil society organizations, and citizens, to actively participate in the process and ensure its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final National Voters Register will be produced after the Tribunal process, and the EC will use it to conduct the first cycle of elections under the General Elections Roadmap, namely, elections of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Committees, scheduled for June 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Editor:msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\"
