The Electoral Commission -EC has released the program for the display of the lists of verified Administrative Units from today April 11th to Wednesday 20th April 2022 for public viewing at the Division and Sub County Headquarters in the respective Cities and Districts countrywide. 

This is in preparation for the conduct of the Women Councils and Committee Elections from the Village to National level in 2022, and the Administrative Unit (LC. 1 & LC. 2) elections in 2023,

Last month, EC conducted an exercise to verify and confirm Administrative Units of Villages or Cells and Parishes or Wards countrywide.

Now, the EC Spokesperson Paul Bukenya says that the Commission has processed the data which was compared, verified and confirmed during the exercise expecting to have the display exercise conducted during working hours throughout the above period including weekends under the direct supervision of the respective Division and Sub-county Elections Supervisors.

He says that this is intended to enable the public to confirm that only existing Administrative Units and those created by 9th April 2021 by way of a Statutory Instrument are included on the list.

Bukenya however urges all stakeholders to participate in this display exercise in order to ensure a harmonised list of units that will be used for purposes of organising and conducting the upcoming Women Councils and Committees Elections 2022, and the Administrative Units elections 2023.
