The story
The Electoral Commission in Kayunga District has completed the training of village and parish election officials as preparations intensify for the forthcoming Local Council I (LC I) elections.
The training was aimed at equipping election officials with the knowledge and procedures required to conduct a free, fair and orderly electoral process at the village level, including the compilation of the village voters' register and the management of polling activities.

Speaking after the training, Presiding Officer Elizabeth Namirembe described the exercise as successful, saying the officials are now fully prepared to oversee the voter registration exercise and the subsequent elections.
"We have successfully trained our village and parish election officials, and they are now prepared to carry out their responsibilities professionally," Namirembe said.
She announced that voter registration will run from Monday, July 6, to Friday, July 10, and urged all eligible residents to register within the stipulated period.
"I call upon every eligible voter to come and register during the scheduled period. Anyone who fails to register will not be eligible to vote in the LC I elections," she said.
Namirembe stressed that only people whose names appear in the official village voters' register will be allowed to participate in the elections.
"It does not matter whether someone is a resident of the village. If your name is not in the voters' register, you will not be allowed to vote. The register will be the only reference during polling," she warned.
