Close to 20,000 Namibians registered to vote during the first week of the Supplementary Registration of Voters (SRV) process, which began on 4 August 2025 in preparation for the 2025 Regional Councils and Local Authorities elections. 

The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Dr. Elsie Nghikembua, says that the supplementary registration of voters is not merely a procedural step but a commitment to inclusivity and representation as outlined in the Electoral Act.
