No ID, No Voting

The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has reiterated that only citizens with valid national identity cards (IDs) will be eligible to vote in the 2025 general elections.

MEC Chairperson Annabel Mtalimanja emphasized that those without IDs should apply for them, while those with expired IDs need not panic as they will still be accepted.

The commission has unveiled the theme “Promoting Democratic Leadership Through Your Vote” and announced that voter registration will commence on July 31, 2024, in selected centers.
