In early 2025, Cameroon has seen an increase of 210,000 new voters registered, resulting in a total of 8,055,622 eligible voters. This development was highlighted during the first ordinary session of the Electoral Board of ELECAM, which primarily aimed at reviewing quarterly activity reports and evaluating strategic plans for the upcoming presidential election scheduled for October 2025.

The rise in voter registration demonstrates a significant mobilization of citizens in preparation for the electoral process. In comparison, the number of registered voters grew from 7,845,622 at the end of 2024 to the current total, indicating a proactive response from the electorate.

ELECAM has continually advocated for all eligible citizens to register, emphasizing that each new addition enhances the electorate’s power. A robust voter turnout not only promotes a democratic electoral environment but also ensures that the elected representatives truly reflect the will of the people.

With the presidential election approaching, it is crucial for eligible citizens to take advantage of the registration period. Increased participation in the electoral process will foster greater transparency and enable citizens to effectively shape the future of their nation through their votes.

The ongoing electoral registration process in Cameroon has welcomed an additional 210,000 voters, bringing the total to 8,055,622 before the presidential election in October 2025. The Electoral Board, led by Dr. Enow Abrams Egbe, underscores the importance of voter registration in strengthening democracy. Active participation is vital for ensuring that the electoral outcome reflects the will of the citizens, thereby forming a stronger foundation for the nation’s future.
