to register as a voter you need proof of Identity, Age and Namibian Citizenship by producing one of the following documents:

Remember:
To register to vote in any local authority council election, take along your Telecom or Municipal/Town/Village electricity and water bills to prove that you have lived in that area for 12 consecutive months.
