Revised 2121 General Elections Road Map Launched

By Admin

A Revised the Electoral Commission has launched a revised road-map for the 2021 general elections following the interruptions in the initial road-map due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today EC Chairperson Justice Byabakama presented to the country a ‘scientific electoral program’ that prescribes online registration, virtual campaigns and several other events to fall in line with the SOPs and guidelines in the fight against corona-virus.

During the launch, Byabakama noted that in preparation for the 2021 elections, the Commission has lost three months of critical Road-map as a result of the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic.

According to the roadmap, the Electoral Commission will avail nomination forms on its website that can be printed by those with access to the internet. However, for those with no access to internet, hard copies will be availed. Important to note is that we will only allow an aspiring candidate with only two (2)
people; the nominator and a seconder.

Mass rallies will not be allowed but campaigns will be conducted mainly through media. The Commission will issue specific guidelines for each electoral activity under this revised Roadmap in due course and will engage with various stakeholders on the same. This includes detailed information on specific requirements for nomination as a candidate, access to nomination forms, nomination fees and venues and conduct of campaigns and
polling process.

Byabakama said, the Commission in consultation with the Ministry of Health have considered and adopted Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to facilitate safe participation by all stakeholders in the electoral process and advised political parties and aspiring independent candidates to ensure safe practices during primaries and other preparatory activities.

He said the revised road-map considered the need to preserve the health of citizens and their constitutional democratic rift to elect leaders of their choice as guaranteed under the constitution.

Byabakama regretted the inconveniences the postponement caused to stakeholders including political parties and organisations, which were preparing internal primaries to identify persons to contest as candidates at various
elective levels, as well as individuals who are aspiring to contest as independent candidates
at various levels.

He however said it was inevitable being mindful of the need to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all stakeholders in the electoral process.
