Polls Close in Malawi’s General Elections

Polls have officially closed in Malawi’s General Elections held on Tuesday, 16 September 2025.

Voting commenced as early as 6:00 a.m. and closed at 4:00 p.m. with a quiet and orderly start, as large numbers of registered voters turned out and queued at polling stations in the capital, Lilongwe.

NEC Liberia Chairperson, Madam Davidetta Browne Lansanah, participating as part of the Association of African Electoral Authorities (AAEA) Mission in partnership with the European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES), observed that the setup of multiple voting screens per polling station significantly accelerated the voting process - reducing long queues in record time.

Each voter received and cast one of three ballots at a time - for President, Parliament, and Local Government - within 2 to 4 minutes.

This approach helped minimize risks of ballot misplacement, simplified sorting, and ensured faster counting and collation.

Voter verification was conducted both manually and electronically, using authentication devices alongside a printed Final Registration Roll.

This served as a reliable backup in case of electronic malfunction, allowing voting to proceed without disruption.

Overall, confidence remains high in the integrity of the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) as the collation process begins.

The Election Observation Mission to Malawi, comprising NEC Liberia Chairperson Madam Davidetta Browne Lansanah, has been engaging in high-level discussions on the rising cost of elections and the burden it places on African nations.

During talks with the Malawi Election Support Network (MESN), civil society organizations focused on youth advocacy, the People’s Federation for National Peace and Conflict Resolution (PEFNAP) on CVE and conflict resolution, among others, stakeholders underscored the need for deeper dialogue among Electoral Commissions and partners.

The aim is to promote cost-effective elections by prioritizing competitive bidding processes rather than restricted bidding, thereby reducing unnecessary expenditures.

The EMB leaders further recommended that African Electoral Commissions invest in local ballot and CVE materials printing, cutting costs and boosting national economies instead of outsourcing abroad, which primarily benefits foreign economies.

The Malawi Electoral Commission-MEC disclosed that its government allocated a little over USD 500 million for its three-year electoral cycle leading up to the General Elections scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, 16 September 2025.

Malawi has 7,202,756 registered voters out of a total population of 21,104,480.
