British High Commissioner, Carolyn Davidson, has urged registered voters to go to their respective Polling Stations and verify their details in the Voters Register.
Speaking when she visited some polling stations in Munali area in Lusaka today, Ms Davidson said:
“It is important that all registered voters go to the Polling Stations at which they registered and check that their details are correct in the Register of Voters. By verifying the details, voters will avoid the problem of possibly being denied their right to vote on the voting day just because there is a problem with their credentials.”
Ms Davidson stressed that it is important for people to exercise their right to vote in this year’s tripartite elections and help strengthen democracy in Zambia by taking advantage of the Inspection of the Register of Voters period from 30 May to 12 June 2011 as set by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ).
The High Commissioner also said the 2011 election presents an opportunity for Zambia to burnish its reputation of holding transparent, free and fair elections. She said the UK and other partners were working with ECZ to ensure they were adequately prepared to conduct a transparent election in which all stakeholders had confidence.
