The Electoral Commission (EC) has extended voting time to 7:00pm from the stipulated 4:00pm by law.

EC chairperson, Dr. Badru Kiggundu, who made the announcement, explained that the extension favors only polling stations where electoral materials delayed.

 In some places in Wakiso and Kampala districts, polling materials had not been delivered by noon.

"By the virtue of the powers entrusted to the commission to adjust polling guidelines when need arises, we have decided to extend voting time only at stations where material reached beyond 2:00pm. Otherwise, voting should be ending anytime from now," Kiggundu said.
