Malawi advocacy groups want officials to ban Smartmatic systems from next year's elections. Six organizations sent a letter to the Malawi Electoral Commission about their worries. They fear the system might harm voter trust because of past problems elsewhere. The groups demand election technology that everyone can trust.
These watchdogs also asked for an outside check of how voters were verified. They pointed to missing names, wrong centers, and other mistakes in the process. The groups said people affected need a real chance to fix their registration details. Election officials must bring in local and international monitors to monitor all election steps. The groups gave officials seven days to answer or face unnamed consequences.
