Makinda also urged for reform of the country's electoral system to address logistical issues, such as ballot shortages, which affected the smooth running of the recent elections.

“The government should consider reforming its electoral system, allowing voters to vote in any constituency as expected of where they are registered, said Makinda”

In a preliminary statement delivered in Windhoek today, Makinda recommended the implementation of a comprehensive ballot management strategy. This would include accurate voter data, well-prepared contingency plans, and regular audits to ensure the system's effectiveness. She stressed the importance of transparency and effective consultation with all relevant stakeholders throughout the electoral process.

Makinda’s remarks highlight key areas for improvement in Namibia’s electoral framework, calling for proactive measures to address challenges and ensure the integrity of future elections.
