Countdown to polling day: 263 days remaining



By Burnett Munthali

With only 263 days left until Malawi’s polling day, preparations are intensifying across the country. This is a pivotal moment for citizens to exercise their democratic right to vote and for aspiring candidates to step forward.

As the countdown continues, it is vital to remember that eligibility criteria must be met for those intending to run for public office. Individuals wishing to contest as ward councillors or Members of Parliament must be at least 21 years old on the date they submit their nomination papers.

For voters, safeguarding your voter certificate is equally critical. This document is essential for verifying your eligibility to vote. Proper care will ensure a seamless experience on election day, avoiding unnecessary delays or complications.

The 2025 elections are set to shape the future of Malawi, and every vote counts. Citizens are encouraged to stay informed, participate actively, and uphold the values of democracy.

Stay tuned for updates as the countdown continues.
