How to register

How do I register?

To vote in any of the elections, you have to be a registered voter. You can register in your respective local authority and constituency and you only have to register once as a voter.

Who can register?

You must:

  • be a Namibian citizen
  • be 18 years old or above and

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

  • your valid green passport or New Namibian ID, or Old Namibian ID

or one of the following combinations

  • Citizenship Certificate and Old Namibian ID (if you were born outside Nambia)
  • Namibian Birth Certificate and New Namibian Driver’s Licence
  • Namibian Birth Certificate and two registered deponents
  • Proof of Residency
Only original documents are allowed for identification purposes, no copies of any documents are allowed.
 

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. Alternatively bring along one person who is a registered voter in that particular local authority area to make a statement under oath that he/she knows that you have lived there for 12 consecutive months.
