Côte d’Ivoire’s Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) has announced that the final voter list for the upcoming October presidential election will be made public on Wednesday, June 4, 2025.

Over 8 million voters have been registered following a recent revision of the electoral roll. However, the process has not been without controversy. Reports indicate that several opposition figures have been excluded from the final list, prompting criticism from political observers and civil society groups.

The exclusions have raised fresh concerns about the transparency and fairness of the upcoming vote, with calls for the CEI to ensure an inclusive and credible electoral process.
