Over 500 new voters have been captured in the tourist capital since commencement of the countrywide mobile voter registration exercise on June 21 2010.
Assistant Registration Officer, Nelson Sakala said by midday yesterday, 508 people had registered as new voters at the various registration centers across
the district.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Livingstone today, Mr. Sakala said withthe waiver of the police report fees for lost voters and National Registration Cards respectively, the number of people registering as voters was expected to
increase.
He said most people had shown keen interest in registering as voters and he urged them to wait for Registration Officers to get to their areas according tothe time frame indicated on the district deployment plan.
Meanwhile, Livingstone District Voter Education Committee (DVEC) Chairman, Moses Sakala has appealed to Voter Education Facilitators (VEFs) to improve in the manner they execute their duties.
Mr. Sakala said voter registration was an important exercise for the nation and as such ineffectiveness on the part of VEFs would negatively affect the number of people registering as voters.
He said he was not impressed with the methods some of the facilitators had employed to inform and educate members of the Livingstone community on the importance of voting.

Choice of words LT – Captured?
LT has pretty low standards. You have lived down to the low expectation that we set for you. I wonder if this comment will be struck for telling LT to breath some high level stndards into their writing or copying and pasting.
ts hypocritical, insensitive, overjoyous and impromptly inappropriate for my government to recall all embassy staff back home after all efforts that we have thrown behind MMD. If this is the new way of entering election year then lets but-heads because I am ready to expose the grand scheme under way for MMD to scoop the election dubiously! MMD under our current hypocritical tyrants have no place in our beloved country. In a few days I will be announcing which party Im joining.
Its always like this in Zambia, when will things ever change. That’s the problem when you get unqualified people to do the job. We are qualified Civic Educators from UNZA but non of these old buggers ever dared giving us a chance to be part of the voters education even after turning ourselves in at the electoral commission of Zambia. What a shame!! we would have done a good job. Imagine more 300 hundred intellectuals doing the job. Lets think and stand for justice in this country.
