“Your active participation is vital to ensuring the integrity of our electoral process. Together, let us uphold the values of democracy and civic engagement,” he said recently.

Additionally, she highlighted the importance of removing the names of deceased individuals from the voters’ register, as they are no longer eligible to vote.
By verifying their details and updating the national registers, Ugandans can help ensure the accuracy and integrity of the electoral process.
