More than 400 voter registration enumerators begin training in Western Bahr el Ghazal

More than 450 voter registration enumerators in Western Bahr el Ghazal State have begun a two-day training on election procedures and registration requirements ahead of the upcoming voter registration exercise.

The training, organised by the State High Election Committee, brings together 360 enumerators from Jur River County and 99 from Wau County.

Speaking during the opening session, committee member Cleto Aku said the training aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct voter registration at constituency and designated registration centres.

The Chairperson of the State High Election Committee, Arkangelo Wudo Agany, said the workshop would focus on registration procedures and the responsibilities of enumerators.

Agany urged participants to work as a team, saying cooperation and mutual support would be essential in addressing challenges and ensuring a smooth registration process.

He also emphasised the importance of understanding registration procedures and correctly completing voter registration forms, noting that some sections could be difficult without proper guidance.

Agany said the current workshop is the first phase of the training, with a second group of election personnel expected to undergo a similar exercise.

The committee expects the training to strengthen the capacity of enumerators and prepare them to carry out their duties effectively during voter registration.
