The Ugandan government is finally catching up with the mobile and internet generation. That’s why the electoral commission is making it easy for you to find out your eligibility to vote by way of a simple page on their website.
Before you hit the polling stations in 2016 to vote for your favorite Ugandan presidential candidate, you want to check if you’re on the voter’s register here http://www.ec.or.ug/register/.
All you have to do is enter your Voter number or application ID or National ID Number(NIN) into the searchbox. The system will query its database and tell you whether or not you’ll be able to participate in the electoral process come next year.
For most of us who can’t get off our laptops and smartphones, we say bravo to the electoral commission for this.
