Mufulira district has opened ninety three (93) centres as places for voters’ re-registration exercise.
The centers opened Monday in all the 28 wards of the three constituencies that are within the municipality of the district.
Town Clerk (TC) Charles Mwandila confirmed in an interview that the re- registration exercise for lost voter’s cards has kicked off in all the polling centers.
Mr. Mwandila who is also the district electoral officer said there are 34 centers under Mufulira constituency that are opened while Kantanshi has 33 centers.
Kankoyo constituency has 26 centers opened.
TC appealed to electorates who lost their voters cards not to wait until the last day to register because there will be no extension of the exercise.
He advised the voters who lost their cards to quickly go to the respective polling centers to register so that they can have the cads replaced before the election date.
He said the centers will remain open every day from 8 hours to 17 hours from 21st to 26th September, 2008.
October 30 has been set as date for the presidential election.
And the Voters’ Cards Replacement exercise in Lufwanyama District has tremendously improved, following a vigorous Publicity campaign by ZANIS.
A check by ZANIS Â in Chief Nkana, Shimukunami and Shibuchinga areas revealed that polling centres have been set up in almost all the schools in the area.
Some villagers talked to, complained that the majority of people have lost their national registration cards and wondered whether there would be a mobile registration exercise to have their voters cards verified.
Lufwanyama Electoral Officer, Ben Sihulumi said all electoral materials have been delivered to 55 polling centres.
Mr Sihulumi said the district  received 66 ballot boxes in readiness for the Presidential by-election on October 30.
He expressed hope that at the end of the exercise, many villagers would have replaced their lost voters’ cards.
Mr Sihulumi explained that when the exercise first began, people thought that it was about only about the issuance of new registration cards to those who had attained the age of 16 Â and above.
He proposed that the Ministry of Home Affairs should mount a mobile issuance of national registration cards exercise.
ENDS/PFK/PK/ZANIS.
(The forward hand) Ijanza, Zambia forward. The UPND’s HH. This race is not for TIMID SOULS or faint-hearted. Go and sleep/relax in bed if the race has worn you out or if you have nothing more to do on here. I am on National Duties here making sure that Hon. Sata does not get anywhere near Plot 1 after the 30/10/2008 elections.
Sata is the Man we need. There is no need to be “Tribal” in matters of development. Viva PF.
Let many people register as soon as possible
Make sure that there are no ghost voters on those registries.
#2 U R RIGHT. NO NEED 2 B TRIBAL. VOTE PF, AND THEN VOTE GIVEN LUBINDA IN 2011. THE MAN HAS TREMENDOUS LEADERSHIP SKILLS.
ALL this SATA talk will make you cry, very soon come 30th October. Mark my words.
I dont care coz I aint gat no crap to give my vote. They are all useless in my eyes.
Fate got rid of nepotism. We stand to get rid of corruption and in the process, make sure we don’t give a chance to tribalism. I was amazed at how many HH supporters were behind Magande. If he stood under MMD, UPND would have pulled out of election maybe even died. I just realised how an ‘angel’ magande was praised. When he failed to go forward, they all came back to UPND. Mazoka was different and so was his group, which was kicked out for tribal reasons. HH standing now means no vote from us even in 2011! Abash tribal politics!
Whether you like it or not “HH the best man for president of Zambia!!!
Why is the ECZ asking for details of the dead in Choma?
