✍️FORMER COUNCIL CHAIRPERSON GRACIOUS (S) HAMATALA WROTE.
Fellow residents of Mumbwa!
Today, the 12th of August 2025, marks a significant milestone as we set our sights on a pivotal moment in our collective future. Exactly one year from now, on the 12th of August 2026, your voice will resonate through the simple yet powerful act of casting a vote.
This upcoming election is not just another event on the calendar; it is a chance for us to shape the direction of our country, district, constituency and our wards. Every vote has the potential to bring about real change, to address the issues that matter most to us, and to elect leaders who will work tirelessly for the betterment of Mumbwa.
As we start this one - year countdown, the question that we must all ask ourselves is: How ready are we? A crucial part of being ready is having a valid voters card. This small piece of paper is our ticket to having a say in the governance of our area.
For Those with Voters Cards
If you already possess a voters card, congratulations! You are one step closer to making your voice heard. However, the responsibility doesn't end here. Please keep your voters card safe with you at all times. Store it in a secure place where it won't get damaged or lost. Consider laminating it to protect it from wear and tear. Remember, this card is your key to participating in the democratic process and bringing about the change we all desire.
For Those Without Voters Cards
If you haven't gotten your voters card yet, there's no better time than now to take action. The process of obtaining a voters card is straightforward, and there are multiple avenues available to assist you. You can visit the nearest voter registration center, where friendly and knowledgeable staff will guide you through the process. They will help you fill out the necessary forms, verify your information, and issue you with your very own voters card.
Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Every eligible citizen's voice matters.
