How to verify your voter’s registration status

The 2019 general elections is less than 184 days away. How prepared are you to perform your civic duty?

The first step to exercising your franchise in the forthcoming polls is to sign up for voters registration at any of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) centres close to you in order to be issued a permanent voters card (PVC).

If you are registered but have not yet been issued a PVC, there are a number of ways to verify your registration status as outlined below.

The outlined steps are aimed at verifying if your data was properly captured at the point of registration. They also help to determine eligibility as well as polling units even before elections.
