Africa-Press – Zambia. THE Electoral Commission of Zambia has launched the Delimitation Exercise ahead of the 2026 General Election.
The exercise will be preceded by stakeholder consultations across all 116 districts from February 16 to 20, 2026.
ECZ Chairperson Mwangala Zaloumis announced the development today during a stakeholders’ meeting held in Lusaka.
Ms. Zaloumis said the 70 new constituencies will be published in the Government Gazette on April 15, 2026.
She explained that the new constituencies will only take effect on May 15, 2026, following the dissolution of Parliament.
Meanwhile, Ms. Zaloumis disclosed that the 2026 voters’ register will be certified on April 30, 2026.
She said members of the public will, before that date, be given an opportunity to inspect and verify their voter details.
At the same meeting, ECZ Chief Electoral Officer Brown Kasaro announced that no new wards will be created during the delimitation process.
Mr. Kasaro said, however, that polling districts will be reorganised to align with the newly created constituencies.
