The chairman of the polls commission, Justice Byabakama Simon confirms that, the polling exercise will commence on 5th july with the voter’s register update, display of the register, nomination(19th-29th July) campaign will then run from 23rd July to 13th- August 2018 with polling falling on 15th August 2018.

The electoral commission urges all voters in the area to fully take part in the whole exercise as they usher in a new leader.

Arua municipality has a total of 45,184 registered voters and 65 polling stations with the number expected to rise and the by-election expected to cost over UGX.500M.
