The voter registration census for 2026 will commence on February 1, according to the People’s Action for Free and Fair Elections (PAFFREL).
In a statement, PAFFREL said census officials will not visit every household as in previous years. Instead, visits will be limited to homes where updates are required to the “A” and “Aa” lists, which include newly added voters and names removed from the register.
PAFFREL noted that only households from which voter-related information needs to be collected will be visited during the census process.
The organization also stated that representatives of political parties will be permitted to observe the census and monitor the recommendations made by census officials regarding voter eligibility after information is gathered.
PAFFREL added that if any irregularities are observed, representatives may inform the census officer in writing, with a copy forwarded promptly to the relevant District Deputy or Assistant Commissioner.
