SOLJA calls for the people of Somaliland for optimum participation Registration of voters to elect those

who lead them, because elections are the other options they have to choose leaders that can manage the

country and come up with development strategies for progress.

Registration Voters are rights that belong to citizens of the constitutional and electoral rules given right to

choose the leaders you think you can develop greater now holds, that's a decision belonged to individuals

to bring suit to see that they have knowledge, experience and ability to mitigate their needs.

SOLJA is looking forward to the process of heading for the registration process and the elections were an

important role in dealing with time, while its both the interests of voters and the interests of the nation, as

they are for national activities to around stand is responsibility of everyone in Somaliland.

SOLJA with referring to its national responsibilities were previously presented NEC Tips challenges

against the voter registration, which has primary responsibility for them was to do something but they are

not considered reports existing office and advice given and took the path already failed previous voter

registrations were their risks have been survived, who were due to lack of awareness of the social

inclusion process.

Formed part of the civil society organizations of the data collection has to make the process and

Registration considers the challenges ahead from registration to the Commission report of noxious and

community notification messages benefits with, and we prepare Products enough to pass on the correct

path of voter registration and community participation of this process.

Therefore, SOLJA organization formed a summary of the reasons why I came to see the plight of the

public do not register themselves: –

1. The Commission does not have the financial control of the registration, and cannot direct agencies

such as IOM helped Awareness and Cummonics

2. The Commission have started a weak unpreparedness registration in Togdheer region which have

been criticized greatly

3. The Commission and Awareness given local organizations made awareness’s without using religious,

traditional , Parliamentary , media and the impact on society and the media messages through from the

beginning until today are a message and not look back or not renewable .

4. As a result of the lack of release of result of the Outcome Registration of completed regions ,which

would create competition among regions, such as Burao and Borama.

5. Usage NEC political parties used to launch regional registration and illegal campaign changed and

subsequently stopped by the Commission.

6. Election Commission not to talk now or not characterize both the public barriers to registration and not

any way to help to carry out registration stronger than the midday remaining regions.

7. This process of voter registration is halted by the shortly failed registration of Civil ID cards which have

caused discourage to the citizens the way it is been carried out and which later on totally became a

challenge this current voter registration.

8. Awareness of the vehicles used by people who do not have the awareness of anything to say and

producing songs not apply for registration , the fact that young men and women of the highest voters do

not took part awareness .

Challenges Government: –

1. Government Awareness is Zero exception to the Commission’s public support , such as the economy

and public security .

2. The state -controlled media and government employees not to enter the National Awareness.

3. Government officials and the public services they need to do gain acceptance and participation ,

especially young people and women , which is disappointed on how this registration have started.

Political parties : –

1. Differences between the parties and the way they elect leaders and public pessimistic created .

2. The relationship of the parties and the community seen as no cooperation only the political parties start

cooperation when they need to be voted under the Registration or election .

3. The parties are not accountable to government, especially wore without starting to see the role , and

the opposition to monitor and oversee in real government make mistakes .

4. Political parties violates citizen rights, and the gain or autonomous tribal structure.

Public –

1. The Public misunderstanding of the constitutional rights of their process , and the voting system is

inadequate politicians by giving votes in more traditional way of tribalism .

2. Public ashamed of the promises of the parties went on , and that no matter how far away they want to

bring their leaders . Mistrust of upcoming politicians

3. The public and community Elitists do don’t provide guidance to the other least educated or

margenalized groups which left them confusion and misapprehension.

Advice & Suggestions: –

system, and learn from the challenges faced or will face.
