Election Timeline

Due to circumstances related with distribution of materials, security issue, and geography, the National Election Board of Ethiopia pushed Voter Registration for 14 more days. Henceforth, the Election Day previously set to be held on June 5, 2021 G.C was postponed to June 21, 2021 G.C. The election timeline that was announced earlier should now be updated accordingly. Pertinent to this information, the Voters Registration period indicated on the same timeline as the last day for the period had also been extended until May 14, 2021. So, all information provided earlier concerning the two dates (the last day of Voter Registration and the Election Day) should duly be updated.
