The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) says it will soon conduct a mock voter verification exercise to test the voter system.
The exercise will be conducted on 30 and 31 August in preparation of the upcoming presidential and National Assembly elections.
This was announced by chief electoral and referenda officer Peter Shaama in a statement on Sunday.
He said the exercise will test the functionality and usability of the newly enhanced and upgraded Integrated Mobile Voter Registration System (IMVRS).
The IMVRS has been designed to streamline the voter verification process and improve overall electoral efficiency.
“We are confident that the IMVRS will greatly improve the voter verification process and make our electoral process more efficient and effective,” he said.
Shaama said the enhanced system leverages mobile technology to make voter verification more efficient on election day.
“This marks a significant milestone in our efforts to modernise and improve our election processes,” he said.
He said only Namibian citizens registered as voters will be able to participate in the exercise – irrespective of the constituencies in which they have registered.
Shaama said the enhanced system incorporates advanced security and verification measures.
