Togo Begins Electoral Roll Revision for 2025 Municipal Elections

03/04/2025

Togo will revise its electoral roll for the 2025 municipal elections from April 7 to April 23. Authorities announced the operation on April 1 through a presidential decree outlining its terms.

During this period, citizens who have not registered can do so, especially those who recently turned 18. Voters who have changed residence or lost their voter registration cards can also update their information at designated centers.

The revision will follow the existing electoral division framework. Centers will operate daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., allowing voters to complete necessary procedures.

Ahead of the revision, the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) trained personnel responsible for updating the electoral roll. In Lomé, 324 trainers prepared nearly 6,000 data entry operators for fieldwork.

This revision comes one year after the last electoral census in April 2024, conducted for legislative and regional elections. The CENI had registered over 4.2 million voters at the time.
