Observation Finding Report on Voter Registration Processes for the Seventh General Elections of Ethiopia

May 6, 2026 | Uncategorized

Introduction

The Coalition of Ethiopian Civil Society Organizations for Election (Coalition for Election), under the accreditation obtained from the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE), is observing the Seventh General Elections. The Coalition has deployed 522 long-term observers (LTOs)  to  observe  the voter registration process across all Ethiopian regions and the two city administrations, Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa  with the exception of the Tigray region and contested areas.

This report evaluates the voter registration process conducted by the NEBE —assisted by both manual and tablet methods—in a systematic manner using consistent observation checklists based on key indicators. This report primarily examines the voter registration process, its inclusiveness (participation of women, persons with disabilities, and the elderly), the deployment of security forces around registration centers, and election security.

The report covers the voter registration process from March 20, 2026, to the conclusion of registration on April 22, 2026. It is based on findings gathered from 3,953 manual and 443 tablet registration centers, totaling 4,396 centers where the Coalition  deployed its 522 long-term observers. Any percentage (%) findings presented in this report are calculated relative to the 3,953 manual and 443 tablet registration centers observed by the Coalition.

Organization and Accessibility of Registration Centers

Location of Centers: Regarding the establishment of registration centers, 3,851 (97%) of observed manual centers and 429 (97%) of tablet centers were established in legally permitted locations. However, 102 (3%) manual and 14 (3%) tablet centers were established in prohibited locations (military, police, religious sites, health centers, bars/hotels, political party offices, and private residences).

Availability of Election Officials: The law stipulates that at least three (3) election officials must be present at registration centers. The Coalition’s observers confirmed an average of 4 officials were present at centers under both registration methods.

Opening Hours: 1,284 (63%) manual centers and 125 (56%) tablet centers began registration between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM. Conversely, 762 (37%) manual centers and 98 (44%) tablet centers started between 9:30 AM and noon (6:00 local time). In 5 observed manual centers, the registration process had not begun by noon.

Lunch Breaks: Of the 1,902 manual and 220 tablet centers observed during the afternoon session, 1,702 (89%) manual centers utilized the legal one-hour lunch break, while the Coalition observed that 200 (11%) centers took more than one hour. Regarding tablet centers, 205 (93%) used the legal one-hour break, while 15 (7%) were found to have exceeded it.

Closing Hours: Among the centers observed in the afternoon, 1,686 (89%) manual and 193 (88%) tablet centers closed between 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM. Our findings show 137 (7%) manual and 17 (8%) tablet centers closed after 6:00 PM. Conversely, 79 (4%) manual and 10 (5%) tablet centers closed before 5:30 PM.

Interruption of Process: In 2,666 (67%) manual centers and 320 (72%) tablet centers, the registration process was never interrupted. Conversely, registration was interrupted at least once in 1,287 (33%) manual and 123 (28%) tablet centers.

Shelter from Sun and Rain: 2,324 (59%) manual and 268 (60%) tablet centers provided shelter (shade) to protect registrants from sun/rain. In contrast, 1,629 (41%) manual and 175 (40%) tablet centers had no such shelter. Convenience for Women: Regarding proximity to residence and safety concerns, 3,563 (90%) manual and 400 (90%) tablet centers were convenient for women; 390 (10%) manual and 43 (10%) tablet centers were not.

Accessibility for those with Limited Mobility: Only 437 (11%) manual and 88 (20%) tablet centers were accessible to registrants with limited mobility (the elderly, pregnant women, or parents with infants). Conversely, 3,516 (89%) manual and 355 (80%) tablet centers were not accessible to these community members.

Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities: The Coalition observed that 485 (12%) manual and 103 (23%) tablet centers allowed persons with disabilities to enter without assistance, whereas 3,468 (88%) manual and 340 (77%) tablet centers were inaccessible without assistance.

Observer Access: Coalition observers were allowed entry without restriction in 3,927 (99%) manual and 430 (97%) tablet centers. However, access was denied in 26 (1%) manual and 13 (3%) tablet centers.

Security Personnel: Security forces were observed outside 2,999 (76%) manual and 320 (80%) tablet centers. Regular police members were present outside 2,003 (51%) manual and 219 (49%) tablet centers. In the remaining 24% of manual and 32% of tablet centers, security forces other than regular police were present. In 25% of manual and 19% of tablet centers, neither police nor other security forces were present outside.

Incidents of Violence/Harassment: In 99.7% of manual and 99% of tablet centers, no violence, threats, or harassment occurred. However, incidents were reported in a small number of centers involving election officials: one (1) murder (East Gojjam, Amhara); two (2) attempted murders (Awi and Wag Hemra, Amhara); seven (7) abductions/kidnappings (2 in East Gojjam, 2 in Wag Hemra, 2 in West Wollega, Oromia, and 1 in South Omo, South Ethiopia); one (1) beating (North Sidama, Sidama); and six (6) threats (South Wollo, North Wollo, West Gojjam, South Gondar, and South Omo).

Voter Registration Process

Identification Documents: Legally, registrants must provide a Kebele ID, passport (even if expired), driver's license, military discharge papers, or student ID. In 3,451 (87%) manual centers, registration followed these rules. However, in 494 (12.49%) manual centers, between 1 and 20 people registered without providing these documents, and in 8 centers, more than 20 people registered without verifying identity/residency.

Digital Registration (OTP): For tablet registration, Fayda National ID holders should receive a One-Time Password (OTP) on their phones. In 424 (96%) tablet centers, OTPs were sent without disruption during observation. However, in 13 (3%) centers, 1–20 registrants did not receive an OTP, and in 6 (1%) centers, more than 20 registrants did not receive it.

Digital Registration (Fayda-less): In 412 (93%) tablet centers, officials successfully entered data (name, age, photo, etc.) for those without Fayda IDs. In 26 (6%) centers, officials were unable to enter data for 1–20 registrants, and in 5 (1%) centers, the system rejected evidence for more than 20 registrants.

Registration Cards: The law dictates cards must be issued immediately upon completion. This occurred in 97% of manual centers, but 111 (3%) centers failed to issue them immediately to 1–20 registrants, and 11 (0.2%) centers failed for more than 20 registrants.

Unauthorized Persons: Only registrants, Board officials, party agents, and accredited observers are allowed inside. This was respected in 98% of manual and 96% of tablet centers. However, unauthorized persons (Kebele leaders, security forces, local party coordinators) were found in 83 (2%) manual and 19 (4%) tablet centers.

Physical Presence: Registration must be done in person. While this was followed in most centers, 92 (2%) manual and 12 (3%) tablet centers registered individuals who were not physically present.

Inclusiveness

Gender Parity among Officials: On average, there was one female official out of the four per center. Women served as heads of 672 (17%) manual centers and 109 (25%) tablet centers.

Persons with Disabilities (Officials): Persons with disabilities served as officials in 93 (0.02%) manual and 15 (0.03%) tablet centers, including roles as center heads.

Female controllers/searchers were present in 97% of manual and 98% of tablet centers. They were missing in 4% of manual and 2% of tablet centers.

Assisted Registration Disclosure: The law requires that information for those registering with assistance be read aloud. This was practiced in 46% of manual and 37% of tablet centers but was ignored in 54% of manual and 63% of tablet centers.

Participation of Stakeholders

Political Parties: Party agents were present in only 539 (14%) manual and 61 (14%) tablet centers. They were absent in 86% of centers for both methods.

Civil Society: Excluding the Coalition’s observers, other observers were present in 156 (8%) manual and 52 (12%) tablet centers. They were absent in 92% of manual and 88% of tablet centers.

Call for Nominations: Advisory Committee Members for CECOE’ Election Observation in the 7th General Election

Feb 18, 2026 | Uncategorized

The Coalition of Ethiopian Civil Society Organizations for Elections (CECOE) is a non-profit and non-governmental civil society organization comprising more than 190 member organizations. CECOE was licensed in 2019 by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Authority for Civil Society Organizations (ACSO) under registration number 4748, in accordance with the Civil Society Organizations Proclamation No. 1113/2019. The organization was established to enhance and coordinate the role of Ethiopian civil society organizations in election observation, civic and voter education, prevention of electoral conflicts, and capacity building for its members.

Since its inception, CECOE has observed the 2019 Sidama Region Referendum, the 2021 General Elections (June 21 and September 30, 2021), the 2021 South West Ethiopia Peoples' Region Referendum, the 2023 South Ethiopia and Wolaita Zone Referendum rerun, and the 2024 outstanding and re-elections in parts of the Benishangul Gumuz, Afar, Central Ethiopia, and Somali regions. Additionally, CECOE has engaged in various advocacy and civic education activities and implemented projects to strengthen democratic institutions and citizen participation.

In line with this principle, CECOE is in the process of establishing a Technical Advisory Committee to provide expert guidance on election observation for the upcoming 7th General Election. This Advisory Committee will serve as a standing resource pool of experts, offering high-level technical advice, analysis, and risk assessment to support CECOE's Board in ensuring accurate, neutral, and impactful election observation. Drawing inspiration from international best practices, such as those from CODEO in Ghana and ELOG in Kenya, the Committee will enhance the credibility of CECOE’s observation efforts by reviewing reports, advising on legal and security risks, and analyzing electoral incidents.
