The Electoral Commission (EC) has outlined its plan to announce the results of the presidential election within three days after December 7, 2024, as disclosed in the Commission's election calendar.

Although there is no legal requirement for a specific declaration timeframe, the EC aims to ensure the timely release of presidential results, aiming for a maximum of three days.

Additionally, the election management body has scheduled the opening of nominations for both presidential and parliamentary candidates for the upcoming election from September 9 to September 19.

“There was no law requiring the EC to declare the results within a specified period, the EC intended to ensure that it would be able to declare the presidential results within a maximum of three days,” the statement stated.

The provisional voters' register is set to be submitted to political parties between July 9 and July 18, 2024.

Balloting for positions on the presidential ballot paper is scheduled for September 23, 2024, providing clarity on the sequence of candidates.

The EC has also designated December 2 for special voting for selected professionals, with the main election scheduled for December 7, 2024.
