The National Elections Commission (NEC) has released a seven-step voting guide to help citizens understand the voting process ahead of the planned December 2026 general elections.
The guide outlines the procedures voters should follow when
they arrive at polling stations.
According to the Commission, citizens must present
identification documents and allow election officials to verify their details
before receiving ballot papers.
After receiving stamped ballot papers, voters will mark
their choices in secret and place their completed ballots into the designated
ballot boxes.
Once voting is completed, voters will have their fingers
marked with indelible ink to prevent multiple voting before leaving the polling
station.
Prof. Abednego Akok Kacuol, Chairperson of the National
Elections Commission (NEC), said that an announcement on voter registration
would be made soon.
“After tomorrow, next tomorrow, you will be called here for
voter registration announcement,” Akok told The Radio Community (TRC) in an
interview during the launch of the civic and voter education campaign in Juba
on Monday.
The Commission is encouraging all eligible voters to participate in civic and voter education activities as South Sudan prepares for its first-ever elections scheduled for December 22, 2026.
