The people in charge of voting kept a big list of everyone who could vote. In 2021, this list had more than 18 million people on it. They needed to make the list bigger because many new people wanted to join.
The special team called the Electoral Commission added more names when they checked voting in different parts of the country. They also put in the names of people who showed their papers to prove they lived there. These people told the team which place would be easy for them to vote.
Today, the big list of voters has grown even more. It now includes almost 20 million people who can vote. Mr. Byabakama leads the team that makes these lists. He said people need more time to sign up for voting.
He decided to give everyone seven more days to sign up. People can sign up from February 11 until February 17. The offices stay open from early morning at eight until evening at six. Anyone can come on any day, even on weekends.
Many people asked for more time because they couldn't sign up between January and February. The team wants to make sure everyone who wants to vote can put their name on the list. They want to help all the people who missed their chance to join.
