Minister calls on society for voter registration


P


Luanda – Angola’s minister of Territory Administration Marcy Lopes Monday urged the churches and civil society to mobilise their communities to adhere to the Ex-officio electoral registration process.

In a meeting with representatives of the churches, traditional authorities and civil society, the minister said it was crucial to step up mobilisation work among citizens who have changed residence, with a view to updating the respective data.

The government official pointed out as a target group, at this stage of the process, citizens who have not taken the proof of life in 2017 and those who have reached the voting age.

Marcy Lopes informed that until the end of the process, March 31, the voter registration points will remain open on Sundays 10 am - 4 pm, but he ruled out the possibility of extending the registration period.

As for abroad, the minister said that registration is running smoothly, even on Saturdays and Sundays, but only in diplomatic and consular missions, as established by the Constitution.

He clarified that it is not legal to create a registration post outside diplomatic and consular missions abroad.
