The Christian Churches Monitoring Group extends its appreciation to all individuals and organisations whose contributions made the observation and documentation of the 2025 Voter Registration exercise possible. CCMG is deeply grateful to all its 336 voter registration observers who were deployed across the country. Their commitment, professionalism, and resilience under challenging conditions were central to the collection of accurate, timely, and credible data that informed this report.

Voter registration is one of the most complex and most expensive activities within the framework of elections. The quality of this process and the product, that is, the register of voters, determines the outcome of an election and consequently the stability of democratic institutions in a country. The core purpose of voter registration is to guarantee that the voting age population (VAP) can register as voters, while prohibiting those ineligible from doing so. The International IDEA’s International Electoral Standards (2002) require that voter registers be maintained in a manner that is transparent and accurate, protects the rights of qualified citizens to register, and prevents the unlawful or fraudulent registration or removal of persons.
