Verification of electoral registration data by citizens happening smoothly

Luanda – The public process of electoral data verification, alongside the right to complain of a possible mistake or irregularity on the electoral roll, is happening smoothly countrywide, aiming at a full participation of citizens in the general elections set to take place in August this year.

According to Fernando Paixão – the national director for the Directorate responsible for the voter registration process, functioning under the umbrella of the Territory Administration Ministry (MAT) – at least 1,272 requests for electoral registration data correction have already been received by the institution.

Speaking to ANGOP, he reminded that this correction process started last April 07, in the whole country.

Citizens have been appealed to use the mechanisms that exist to have their voter registration data corrected, where necessary.

Besides the possibility of using a free hotline (136) to make queries specifically about one’s voter registration data, citizens are also encouraged to use the online website made available by the Directorate for such end (www.meu registo.com.gov.ao) or resort to the BUAP (One-Stop Shop) that exist in every district, functioning under the MAT, for electoral data clarifications.
