5.0 Identification of Persons Living With Disabilities (PWDs) at Village Level
During the verification of the national voters registers at village level, the Electoral Commission will compile the lists of PWDs identified by the village councils.

The identification of PWDs right from the village level is important for compiling registers needed
for elections involving members of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
The Parish Supervisor will ensure that the PWDs identified are recorded for each village on the Form EC/PWD provided.

The appropriate code associated with a disability type will also be entered in the Form EC/PWD. The name of the person identifying the PWD MUST also
be entered in the form.
NB: Where a person is identified as a PWD who is not registered on the National Voters Register, she/he should be advised to first register as a citizen of Uganda in order to qualify for registration as a voter.
