Ethiopia's National Electoral Board has begun consultations to set the voter registration timeline. The process will start on dates determined by the board at the national level and proceed regionally.
Ethiopia's National Electoral Board (NEBE) states that voter registration at the national level will commence and continue on dates it designates. The board will consult regional governments or other relevant entities to establish schedules for local elections.
These dates are determined after discussions with eligible political parties, civil society organizations, media outlets, and other interested parties. The registration schedule will be announced to the public 15 days in advance through media and other notification channels.
Election officials will allocate time slots following the region's standard working hours, providing one hour for every 50 individuals. The process adheres to federal government regulations, operating during official entry and exit times on weekdays including Monday and Sunday, while excluding public holidays. In certain regions, the board may adjust working hours based on local government implementation laws.
