The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Chairperson Annabel Mtalimanja says the commission will use both physical and electronic means to transmit results from the constituency and district tally centers to the national tally center for the September 2025 General Elections.
Mtalimanja clarified this to our journalist Chisomo Phiri in response to concerns raised by political party representatives about the use of Election Management Devices(EMD) for results management.
She emphasized that the MEC is yet to develop a module for results management using the devices and that stakeholders will be consulted once it is developed.
She said the move is part of the MEC’s efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
Said Mtalimanja: “I do not have the context under which the comments were made by the opposition parties but our policy documents including the operational plan is clear that the transmission will be both physical and electronic.”
MEC has already launched its comprehensive voter education campaign and unveiled its theme song, “Voti Yanu,” composed by Afrobeat artist Piksy.
