With the general registration of voters process nearly halfway complete, Election Nexus caught up with members of the public to gauge their views on whether they believe the ECN is doing enough to encourage voter registration and what more they think the ECN can do to increase voter registration.
Festus Lazarus

Yes, I got my voters' card last Friday, and it was easy to locate the stations. The staff at the registration centre were helpful and efficient, making the process smooth. However, ECN could improve by providing more information about the importance of voting and how it impacts our community.

Jeremia Henock

No, I haven't gotten my registration card due to their system being down. They should also extend their hours for registration. Additionally, better communication about downtime and more flexible registration options, like online services, could significantly improve the registration experience.

Aurelia Afrikaner

Compared to their previous campaigns, they are not doing much in terms of getting people to register. ECN needs to increase their outreach efforts, perhaps through social media and community events, to raise awareness and motivate more people to register. Enhanced advertising and engagement campaigns could make a big difference.

Ian Richter

No, they are not doing their job well. They tell us where to register and what we need, but they are not explaining why we should register. They just assume we must know. ECN should run educational campaigns highlighting the benefits of voting and how it influences our daily lives to encourage more people to participate.

Mandume Nekongo

Yes, they are. The ECN has made the registration process accessible, and their information campaigns have been helpful. Still, they could benefit from more extensive community outreach and perhaps partnerships with local organisations to ensure everyone understands the significance of their vote and feels motivated to register.
