ABEC Sets April 10 Deadline for Voter Transfers Ahead of April 30 Polls
In a public notice, ABEC said electors who applied on or before February 28, 2026, to transfer from one constituency to another must finalize the process by 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 10 at its headquarters.
The Commission warned that anyone who fails to meet the deadline will be required to vote in their original constituency, despite having submitted a transfer request.
At the same time, ABEC confirmed that individuals who registered to vote for the first time on or before February 28 will be eligible to cast their ballots in the April 30 elections. This follows the completion of the claims and objections process, with those names now officially included on the List of Electors.
The update comes as the country prepares for a snap general election, with political activity intensifying across constituencies.
ABEC has thanked members of the public for their cooperation and is urging all eligible voters to ensure their registration details are in order ahead of Election Day.
