Title: The CENI RDC Mobile application: a digital tool for consulting the electoral lists
Introduction :
The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) recently launched a mobile application, CENI RDC Mobile, allowing voters and candidates to access electoral lists by polling station. This initiative aims to facilitate the electoral process by providing a simple and convenient way to verify essential information related to their participation in the elections.
Access to electoral lists and location of polling stations:
Thanks to the CENI RDC Mobile application, any voter with a mobile phone or tablet with an internet connection can access the electoral lists by entering their 11-digit national number. It is also possible to scan the QR code of your voter card to carry out the search. Once the voter is identified, the application displays information relating to the location of their polling station, with the possibility of viewing the location on a map. This feature is particularly practical for those who want to quickly know the location of their vote.
Search for candidates:
In addition to consulting the electoral lists, the CENI RDC Mobile application also offers the possibility of searching for the number of a candidate according to the type of election (presidential, national or provincial delegation, election of municipal councilors). Voters can thus easily find information on the candidate of their choice, using their name and post-name.
Management of omitted voters:
In the event of an unsuccessful search, the application allows applicants to fill out a form with their data to be considered as omitted voters. This information will then be analyzed during a dedicated workshop before being integrated into the electoral list.
How to download the CENI RDC Mobile application:
To download the CENI RDC Mobile application, simply go to the PlayStore or the AppStore for iPhone devices. Android users can click on a specific link to download the app. Once downloaded and installed, simply open the application and follow the instructions to access the features offered.
Conclusion :
The CENI RDC Mobile application is a digital tool created by the Independent National Electoral Commission of the Democratic Republic of Congo to facilitate access to electoral information. By allowing voters and candidates to consult the electoral lists and quickly find their polling station, it helps to simplify the electoral process and encourage greater democratic participation.. This initiative demonstrates the growing importance of mobile applications in the political domain, offering a practical solution for citizens wishing to be informed and actively participate in the political life of their country.
