How to vote

🇿🇲 HOW TO VOTE IN ZAMBIA — KNOW YOUR VOTING RIGHTS!

Voting is an important part of democracy, and every eligible Zambian voter deserves to understand the voting process.

Whether you're voting for the first time or have participated in previous elections, knowing what to expect at the polling station can make the experience much easier.

Here's how voting works in Zambia:

1. Register to vote. You must be a Zambian citizen aged 18 or above and be registered as a voter.

2. Know your polling station. Check your voter registration details and confirm where you're registered to vote.

3. Carry your documents. Take your Green National Registration Card (NRC) and voter's card to your designated polling station.

4. Verify your identity. Election officials will check your documents and confirm your details in the voters' register.

5. Collect your ballot papers. After the required checks, you'll receive the appropriate ballot papers.

6. Cast your vote privately. Enter the voting booth and clearly mark your preferred candidate. An X is the standard marking method taught by the Electoral Commission of Zambia.

7. Deposit your ballot papers. Fold them as instructed and place them in the appropriate ballot boxes.

Remember, your vote is secret, and nobody has the right to force you to reveal whom you voted for.

If you make a mistake while marking your ballot, ask an election official for assistance before placing it in the ballot box.

Let's encourage peaceful participation, respect for different political opinions and a better understanding of our electoral process.

Your vote. Your choice. Your right. 🇿🇲
