NEBE is introducing Ethiopia’s first-ever mobile and web-based VSR and ARS system to modernize the country’s voter registration process. The digital system is designed to improve accuracy, reduce administrative workload, and increase accessibility for all eligible voters. By enabling citizens to register themselves or receive assistance using digital tools, the system helps minimize long queues, reduce registration errors, and ease logistical challenges. It also helps prevent illegal attempts at duplicate or second-time registrations. Most importantly, the VSR and ARS system allows citizens in both urban and rural areas to begin the registration process anytime and from anywhere, supporting inclusive participation and laying the foundation for a permanent, reliable, and accurate rolling voter registration system in Ethiopia.
