The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Electoral Commission has relocated the Kalangala tally center from its offices in Kizzi village, Kalangala town council to the district council hall.
The district registrar, Edmund Misango says the move is to allow for the observance of the standard operating procedures-SOPs to contain the spread of COVID-19.
According to Misango, their premises are too small to accommodate their staff and candidate’s agents during the tally of the presidential and parliamentary election results.
The commission has already installed flat screens that will be used by the agents to monitor results from the 90 polling stations in the district.
Misango has urged islanders to observe the COVID-19 preventive guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Electoral Commission.
