The Western Bahr el Ghazal State High Election Committee on Tuesday launched a two-day training for 459 enumerators and voter registration personnel from Jur River and Wau County.
Speaking during the opening of the training, Cleto Aku, a committee member, said the exercise aims to equip participants with knowledge of election processes in the constituency and registration centers.
“Our role today is to give you a brief overview of our model of elections, and that is why we have people from the constituencies attending this training,” he said. “More people will come and train you in other aspects of elections, so this is not the last training.’
The training aims to strengthen their understanding of election procedures and prepare them for their responsibilities during the voter registration exercise.
Meanwhile, Arkangelo Wudo Agany, Chairperson of the State High Election Committee, said the two-day workshop would focus on voter registration procedures and the responsibilities of enumerators at registration centers.
“Actually, we are going to give you the procedures for registering the names of voters, and all of you are going to work in a group,” he said.
Wudo urged the enumerators to work collectively as a team, stressing that no individual should isolate themselves or work independently based on their position.
The committee chairperson emphasized that teamwork and mutual support among registration personnel would be essential in addressing challenges and ensuring the smooth implementation of the registration process.
“It is important to understand the voter registration procedures and correctly complete the required registration forms,” Wudo stated. “The reason for organizing this training is to provide the necessary information and guidance on how to complete the forms correctly, as some sections may be challenging without proper instructions.”
The training is expected to strengthen the capacity of election personnel and prepare them to carry out their duties effectively during the voter registration exercise. According to the chairperson of the committee, this is the first batch of participants to undergo this training, and a second batch will follow soon.
