Lusaka, August 13,2026
The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) says voting in some parts of the country has continued beyond the stipulated time of 18.00 hours due to logistical challenges that resulted in delays.
Speaking during a briefing at the National totaling center, ECZ Chief Electoral Officer Brown Kasaro cited a polling station in Mungwi, which opened at 15:00 hours but that voting would continue to ensure that the 12-hour voting period is completed.
Meanwhile, vote counting is underway in most parts of the country following the close of voting.
Kasaro also said Lusaka and Copperbelt have recorded a high turnout as compared to other provinces.
He said provisional election results are expected to start trickling in tonight with most of them expected to be known by Friday.
The final presidential election results are expected to be announced on Monday, August 17,2026.
