The Electoral Commission of Zambia ECZ says only those that are above 18 years and are in possession of the green National Registration Card NRC are eligible to register as a voter for the fourth coming general elections in 2026.
Responding to a question as to whether those that will be 18 by 2025 can register in advance as voters, ECZ Cooperate Affairs Manager Patricia Luhanga said such people can wait.
Ms. Luhanga stated that this is because 2026 is far away, however those turning 18 in 2025 will have to register during that time which is why the commission is doing a continuous voter registration.
“One of the steps the commission has taken is to begin the continuous registration of voters in 10 district centers, and come next year we will budget for another set of districts,” she said.
