Why it’s important to check early
While polling stations are usually fixed, changes can occur between elections due to relocation, ward adjustments, or updates in voter rolls, potentially affecting a voter’s designated centre.
Arriving at the incorrect polling location can result in delays or even being denied entry. Although carrying a voter slip is not mandatory, it can make the process smoother. Identification documents are still essential at the polling booth.
What to expect next
Voting will take place in phases throughout April. Security measures and logistical arrangements have already begun in various constituencies. With the necessary information already available, voters should make sure to check their assigned polling booth in advance to prevent last-minute confusion.
