Today, the National Electoral Commission (CNE) launched the Electoral Civic Education Campaign, which aims to sensitize the Mozambican people to register in order to guarantee their voting power in the next general elections.

"We call on the general population to collaborate in this process with the civic education agents, to heed the messages addressed to them and, consequently, to take part in voter registration," said the president of the CNE, Archbishop Carlo Matsinhe.

In a statement received by our newsroom, Matsinhe recalled that on October 9 this year the Seventh General Elections - Presidential and Legislative - and the Fourth for Members of the Provincial Assemblies and the Governor of the Province will take place.

The General Elections - Presidential and Legislative - will be held throughout the national territory and abroad, and the Fourth Elections of the Members of the Provincial Assemblies and the Provincial Governor, only in the national territory.

"The Government of Mozambique, through Decree No. 7/2023, of February 16, set the period from March 15 to April 28, 2024, for the root voter registration in the national territory, in the districts without local authorities and updating in the districts with local authorities. And from March 30 to April 28, 2024, voter registration from scratch will be carried out abroad, as an indispensable condition for exercising the civic right to vote and be elected, with all Mozambicans with active electoral capacity being eligible, that is, eighteen years of age or older on the date of the elections, October 9, 2024," it reads.
