The display of the parish tribunal recommendations for deletion from/or inclusion on the register will be conducted for six days between March 1 and 6 at the respective parish and ward headquarters.
“The nomination of candidates will be conducted on March 11 and 12 at the Office of the district returning officer, Dokolo and the successfully nominated candidates will conduct campaign meetings for seven days between March, 13 and 19, 2024.”
