EC spokesperson, Mr Paul Bukenya said the exercise will help the public confirm that only existing administrative units. Especially se that will participate in the elections. These elections will take place between March 17 and March 26 in 2023.

He also said administrative units that created after April 9, 2021, are on the list. This is so because the local government Statutory Instrument released this year puts them out.

“This display exercise is important to the people and the EC. This is because there is a need to confirm the units that they may have introduced. Any objection against the inclusion or omission of an administrative unit (village/cell or parish/ward) shall be raised to the respective district/city returning officer. This is through the division/sub-county supervisor using the forms provided by the Electoral Commission,” Mr Bukenya said.

According to the EC, there will be scrutiny and creation of clear boundaries and legal administrative units during the verification. They will use existing units at the village level to conduct the impending elections.

Mr Bukenya said after the display, the commission will produce the final list, which they will disseminate to all stakeholders by May 13.
