The local elections in Namibia 2010 took place on November 26th and 27th, 2010 in parallel with the regional council elections after a postponement from 2009 to 2010 was adopted. All incumbents automatically remained in office until then. The local governments in 47 municipalities in Namibia were elected.
Election process
Voter registration
Voter registration took place between August 23 and September 6, 2010 with the help of 3500 election workers. 418,292 registered voters have registered to vote at the municipal level in 47 cities and towns.
Election days
On the two election days, all 3,349 polling stations were open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. 12,000 electoral workers helped in them. There were 10 parties as well as six citizens' movements ( English Residents Association ) and six independent candidates for election.
Immediately after the polls closed, the counting of votes began. In each constituency, these were taken to verification offices for verification.
The election was monitored by the National Society for Human Rights (NGfM) and the umbrella organization of Namibian civil associations (NANGOF) .
Election results
The local elections were held in 47 municipalities, towns and villages. SWAPO won in 35 of the municipalities, the UDF and DTA in two municipalities each, and the RDP and the Civis citizens' association in one municipality each .
