Malawi's Electoral Commission completed the collection of voting materials from every polling station across the country. Justice Annabel Mtalimanja announced this achievement during a Thursday briefing at the National Tally Centre in Lilongwe. The retrieval process finished at 9 AM on September 18, marking a significant milestone in the 2025 General Elections. Officials will release only verified results, beginning with the presidential race. The Commission prohibits any unofficial announcements.
Political parties and independent candidates received their result sheet copies as required by election rules. Manual and electronic systems work together to verify data before transmission to the national center. Currently, 96 out of 229 constituencies have finished entering their data and sent the information to district centers. Three councils completed their district-level work and traveled toward the national facility. The Commission will provide live updates through digital displays once national processing begins, but verification must finish first before any official declarations.
