Luanda – The President of the Republic, João Lourenço, Thursday ordered the extension of the period of in-person voter registration and updating of residence of adult citizens, for another seven (7) days.
The measure, which comes into force on 1 April (Friday), comes after the Head of State consulted the National Electoral Commission (CNE), the official Facebook page of the Presidency said.
The regular process of Unofficial Voter Registration ended this Thursday, after six months of operation of the Single Public Service Counters (BUAP).
This is a process that takes place throughout the country and in the diaspora, to allow adult citizens with active electoral capacity to update their electoral records in order to exercise their right to vote in the 2022 General Elections.
To this end, the Ministry of Territorial Administration installed more than 590 BUAPs for citizens’ voter registration, spread across 164 municipalities in the country.
The process started in September 2021 with 84 Single Public Service Counters, with 256 launched in October and another 256 BUAP in November.
