<title>Securing Electoral Integrity: A Call for Reforms Ahead of Uganda&amp;apos;s 2025/2026 General Election as Ushahidi Foundation Uganda Launch &amp;apos;TOKITYA GENDA OLONDE&amp;apos; Campaign</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Ushahidi Foundation Uganda, a newly established organization dedicated to promoting electoral integrity, has emphasized the urgency of reforms to safeguard the democratic process and restore public confidence.


According to Lule Faridah, Executive Director Ushahidi Foundation, a credible voter register is the foundation of any democratic election. During the 2020/2021 General Election, the Electoral Commission (EC) reported 18,103,603 registered voters. However, questions arose about the accuracy of the register, including allegations of deceased persons, underage voters, and non-citizens being included. Lule Faridah says such discrepancies undermine the legitimacy of elections and erode public trust.

To address this, Uganda must adopt a robust biometric voter registration system that integrates data from national IDs and other government databases. ]]></description>
