The Malawi Electoral Commission reports significant advancement in collecting election materials from polling locations across the country. Justice Annabel Mtalimanja announced that 15,127 stations have delivered their documents, leaving just 21 locations outstanding. Physical records must reach district officers before the national center begins final verification procedures. Electronic systems captured 28,506 scanned documents, representing 69 percent of anticipated submissions. Technical teams resolved most transmission problems through dedicated support services.
Electoral officials processed several formal complaints against political candidates during the voting period. MAFUNDE Party accused a parliamentary contender of distributing money to voters. Khadija Chunga reported being denied access for her election monitors at polling sites. Martin Luka faced multiple accusations regarding financial misconduct and resource misuse. Commission leadership directed these matters to appropriate law enforcement agencies based on violation categories.
The electoral body accepts only written complaints submitted through official channels or email systems. Media reports and informal messages cannot trigger formal investigations under current regulations.
