Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s National Elections Commission (CNE) has decided to extend the registration hours for the 11 October local elections by two hours due to voter registration queues, the commission announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking into account the floods at many voter registration posts and the time that remains for the end of the period of the process\u201d with two weeks to go, \u201cCNE has instructed the Technical Secretariat for Electoral Administration [STAE] to extend, with immediate effect, the operation of the registration brigades to two more hours,\u201d said Paulo Cuinica, spokesman for CNE.<\/p>\n

With this measure, the registration posts will now open at 07:00 and close at 17:00, whereas before, they were open from 08:00 to 16:00.<\/p>\n

Cuinica told a press conference that the CNE had also decided to strengthen the resources and staff working on voter registration in the provinces \u201cmost critical\u201d in terms of flooding, namely in Sofala, Zambezia, Nampula, Niassa and Tete.<\/p>\n

On the possibility of increasing the number of days of voter registration, as some civil society organisations are advocating, the CNE spokesman stressed that this option would mean an increase in financial resources in the context of budgetary constraints and also said that the number of voters already registered in the first 26 days of the operation was close to half of the target, which was around 10 million voters.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the registration process, just over 4.7 million voters have been registered, corresponding to 47.40% of the entire number of voters expected in all 65 municipalities in the country, Paulo Cuinica said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are making an extension [of the hours] possible, also taking into account the resources that the electoral bodies have,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

The increase in the number of hours will allow \u201cfurther accelerating the pace towards achieving better results from voter registration,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Voter registration for the local elections ends on 3 June.<\/p>\n
