The African Electoral Institute is advising Political Parties that made it unto the ballot paper not to stress too much about their positions on the ballot paper.
AEI would rather urge political parties to educate their supporters to be familiar with their positions on the ballot paper to enable their supporters to recognise them on the ballot paper and cast valid votes for them regardless of their positions on the ballot paper.
African Electoral Institute further states that voter education will ensure that supporters are familiar with the ballot layout and can navigate it easily to minimise the likelihood of supporters mistakenly voting for their opponents or rendering the ballot cast a rejected ballot.
The African Electoral Institute wishes to entreat the Electoral Commission to effectively design the ballot paper to facilitate easy candidate identification by voters to minimise confusion and rejected votes cast.
