The data are contained in the Computer File of Senior Citizens (FICM), which accounts for 14,399,391 voters.
Among these, about four million were registered without an Identity Card and another four million through the Official Electoral Registry. Another 22,560 were registered outside Angola, including 7748 in Portugal (1651 in Porto and 6097 in Lisbon).
Namibia is the second country with the most voter registration (2487), followed by France (2228), Republic of Congo (2174), Democratic Republic of Congo (1938), Brazil (1660), South Africa (1414) and Zambia (1214).
Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany have less than a thousand registered voters, with Germany being the country with the fewest potential voters – 152 – among the 12 where registrations were made.
Angolan voters are evenly distributed in terms of gender, with women having a slight advantage (51 percent against 49 percent of men), with the predominant age group being under 25 years old (about three million voters).
Half of Angolan voters (7,050,138) are under 35 years old.
In Angola, the capital concentrates the largest number of voters, with 4.7 million, almost 33 percent of the total, and the province of Cuanza Norte, the smallest number (about 250 thousand, corresponding to 1.7 percent of the total).
The official electoral registration started on September 23, 2021 and ended on April 7, 2022, covering only 12 countries, due to logistical constraints associated with covid-19, justified the executive.
The FICM, a device that contains the definitive data of citizens of voting age, including full name, date of birth, affiliation, Identity Card number or voter number, place of residence, place of birth and sex, was delivered on 13 June to the Constitutional Court.
This is one of the stages of the Angolan electoral process and allows checking the conformity of the political parties' candidacy processes.
So far, four political formations have formalized their candidacies, namely the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the majority party, which holds 150 seats in Parliament, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), the largest political force in opposition, with 51 deputies and the electoral coalition CASA-CE, with 16 parliamentarians, as well as the National Patriotic Alliance (APN), which does not have a seat in the National Assembly.
The delivery of proposals by the Social Renewal Party (2 deputies) and the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (1 deputy) is scheduled for this Wednesday, and the Angolan Humanist Party (without a parliamentary seat) for Thursday.
The Nationalist Party for Justice (P-Njango) is the only one of the 12 parties approved by the TC that has not yet set a date to formalize its candidacy, being able to do so until 23:59 on the 25th of June.
The Democratic Bloc withdrew from the electoral race, as some of its leaders are on the UNITA list.
