The martyred province of Cabo Delgado, which saw the district of Quissanga facing security and transit barriers to carry out electoral registration, once again exceeded the target planned by the electoral bodies for the registration of voters, who must vote in the VII General Elections and IV of the Provincial Assemblies, which take place on October 9th. According to data released yesterday by the National Elections Commission (CNE), Cabo Delgado registered a total of 1,403,554 voters, corresponding to 103.93 percent of the universe predicted by the National Statistics Institute (INE), which was 1,350. 542 potential voters. This is the second time in a row that Cabo Delgado has exceeded the goals set for voter registration, despite suffering a rural exodus, caused by terrorist attacks, which have sown mourning in the province since October 2017. In 2019, at the peak of the attacks terrorists, the province of Cabo Delgado managed to register 1,185,024 voters, out of a total of 1,176,754 potential voters that were predicted by the country’s statistical authority, representing a performance of 100.70 percent. It should be noted, in fact, that by April 28, the date on which voter registration ended throughout the country, Cabo Delgado had exceeded its targets, with the registration of 1,354,713 voters. In other words, in Quissanga, the electoral bodies registered an additional 48,841 voters. However, CNE spokesperson, Paulo Cuinica, guarantees that the electoral bodies were unable to achieve the goals set for Quissanga, having registered less than 50 percent. In other words, voter registration in Cabo Delgado would be higher than 103.93 percent. It should be noted that Cabo Delgado is one of the seven provinces that registered more than 100 percent of voters, on a list led by Gaza (150.01 percent) and followed by the provinces of Inhambane (112.37 percent) and Maputo (105.79 percent), all from southern region of the country and “dominated” by the party in power. The list includes the provinces of Nampula (103.56 percent), Zambézia (103.21 percent) and Manica (102.64 percent). Niassa recorded the worst performance, registering 86.26 percent of the expected voters. Note that electoral bodies also managed to exceed targets abroad. In the Africa constituency, 119.4 percent were registered, while for the rest of the world constituency, 116.26 percent were registered. (A. Maolela) Source: Carta de Moçambique
