Participating in Ethiopian elections requires prior voter registration as a prerequisite. Under Proclamation No. 1162/2011, eligible individuals are Ethiopian citizens aged 18 or older who have resided in the electoral district for at least six months. However, those with mental illnesses impairing judgment, under court-ordered punishments, or legally deprived of voting rights cannot register.
