"Everyone has a responsibility, all actors in national life." The message from Thierry Rakotonarivo is clear. The success of the electoral list overhaul should not rest solely on the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). Political parties, civil society organizations, and other actors are called upon to become more involved in the process. The CENI president reiterated this yesterday at his office in Ivandry. "We encourage and remind political parties, civil society organizations, and various sectors that they must participate in developing the electoral list," he stated. Their role is particularly expected in raising public awareness. The overhaul must be communicated to citizens, as well as the steps they need to take to appear on the new list. Two weeks after registration began, awareness campaigns continue. On the ground, voter registration is carried out by Local Voter Registration Committees (CLRE), under the responsibility of the electoral institution. Mobilization However, the quality of the future list will not depend solely on work done in registration offices. Broader mobilization is therefore being sought. Political parties are called upon to inform their activists and supporters, while civil society organizations are invited to relay information to the population. Through this operation, nearly fourteen million voters are targeted. The overhaul should also correct irregularities found in the old list, including duplicates and various inconsistencies. The scope of the objective raises questions about available resources. Despite the increase in targeted voters, the methodology and material resources remain largely similar to those used in the previous overhaul in 2022. "What is lacking above all is the commitment and courage of various actors," believes Thierry Rakotonarivo. For the commission president, a reliable electoral list can only be obtained with active participation in monitoring and controlling the operation. The Electoral Commission also wishes to clarify a distinction often causing confusion: registration on the electoral list and biometric census of the population are two different operations. Electoral registration concerns citizens meeting the required conditions to exercise their voting rights, while biometric census serves the broader objective of population identification.
