Following the completion of data processing resulting from the voter registration operation, the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) has commenced, as of Thursday, July 20, 2023, the phase of posting provisional voter lists.
Everything is gradually falling into place for the upcoming legislative and regional elections in Togo. In accordance with the law and the recent announcement made by the CENI president, provisional voter lists have been posted in all Voter Registration and Voting Centers (VRVC) on Thursday, July 20.
After the posting of the lists, a 48-hour period will be given to the population for any potential challenges. Therefore, it is strongly advised for all voters to actively engage by visiting the VRVCs used during the voter registration operation to verify their effective inclusion in the provisional voter lists.
“Any citizen who believes that a voter has been improperly registered, struck off, or omitted from the voter list can appeal to the Local Electoral Commission (CELI) or the Independent Electoral Arbitration Commission (CEAI). The appeal must be submitted within forty-eight (48) hours following the posting of the voter lists. The CELI or CEAI shall render its decision within a period of forty-eight (48) hours,” stipulates the electoral law in its Article 55 paragraph 2.
