National Initiative for Civic Education (NICE) Trust in Zomba has embarked on an extensive voter registration awareness campaign as one way of encouraging Malawians to register for next year’s elections in large numbers.

District Programmes Officer for NICE in Zomba, Kondwani Newa said as registration exercise commences this Saturday, it was important that people are given the right information and encouraged to register in large numbers.

“We intend to use a multisectoral approach where we will spread out messages in prayer houses, markets, suburbs and everywhere to ensure that people register for the 2025 general elections,” Newa said.

Newa said in addition, NICE has also deployed mobile vans to ensure messages reach out to every corner of the district.

He said the recent constituency demarcation exercise needs more information to flow among voters.

“It is our duty to pass on the information to the general public so that they make an informed decision,” he said.

Newa expressed optimism that the campaign will achieve its intended goal and that more people will register once registration centres open this Saturday.

A prospective registrant from Senior Chief Mlumbe, Hamilton Kapito applauded NICE for coming up with the awareness campaigns on voter registration and constituency demarcation.

Kapito said through the messages people would be encouraged to go and register for the forthcoming general elections.

Second phase of voter registration targets Zomba district and city councils, among other coucils starts on November 9 to 23 this year.

Electoral Commission has already engaged traditional, religious and community leaders on the impending exercise.
