Sorry I should have explained a bit mor...- Nadine,<br /><br />Sorry I should have explained a bit more what's in the table.<br /><br />As you can see the first column [REGION]contains the names of the 11 provinces; the second column [2006] contains figures from the 2006 final list of registered; the third column [EXPECTED] has what has been projected to be the number of potential voters (Congolese aged at least 18 years old and over) in 2011 by province; the fourth column [STATUS] has the number of registered to date by province and the last column is just a way of showing if the registration is ongoing (ending date) or closed.<br /><br />I collected the data from various reliable sources [2006 Elections report; 2011 projection of voters' numbers; Pasteur Mulunda latest update on the registration progress at a CSIS meeting and Radio Okapi news update on the election]and put them together in the above format.<br />I will keep an eye and update it may be by the end of the month then perhaps weekly depending on what will be made public.<br /><br />PS. There is an interesting table that of money pledged by both the International Community and the Congolese Govt for the 2011 elections and money paid so far. There it seems like things are not moving as fast as they should be considering that there is only 6 months to go...<br /><br />RichRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301460106025447019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-63800404304949492592011-05-18T13:13:08.589-07:002011-05-18T13:13:08.589-07:00Hi Rich,

I have compiled figures from 2006 elections, Mulunda’s speech at the CSIS and Radio Okapi latest report.<br /><br />@ Monique - I wanted to point out to the fact that registration already started in Kinshasa in fact E Tshisekedi and his wife registered on Saturday 14th May as shown by the Radio Okapi link below. http://radiookapi.net/actualite/2011/05/15/elections-2011-etienne-tshisekedi-s%e2%80%99est-enrole/<br /><br />Not too sure how this table will display after I post it.

Mulunda Ngoy said in an interview they want to have minimum 29 million voters registred, that is 4 million more then registred in 2006. But this means that there must be 16,3 million voters more registred before mid-july. Or am i a bad matician?<br />The interview of Mulunda is here : http://afrique.kongotimes.info/rdc/election/congo-ceni-est-prete-pour-les-elections-2011.htmlTonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850495235954766334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-31966987701716638922011-05-17T07:12:07.527-07:002011-05-17T07:12:07.527-07:00It was also interesting to hear the Chairman addre...It was also interesting to hear the Chairman address his trip to Togo during the CSIS event. Apparently, DRC lent 2,000 voting machines to Togo for their recent elections, and the machines came back "spoiled." After a Belgian computer supplier told CENI that they couldn't fill DRC's massive order of new voting machines, the Chairman made a trip to Togo to request 1,000 voting machines from that government. <br /><br />This leaves the feeling that CENI is slapping things together in a pretty haphazard way. 1,000 voting machines from Belgium, another 1,000 from Togo, who knows where the rest are coming from ... do these machines even use the same software? Are they communicating with a central (or provincial) database?Monique B.http://www.fallingwhistles.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
