How many registered voters does Zambia have in 2026?
8,786,300 voters are registered for Zambia's 2026 general election, as published by the Electoral Commission of Zambia.
The register is what makes it possible to say anything sensible about how much of the result is still outstanding. With 37,288 valid votes counted from 4 of 226 constituencies, the overwhelming majority of the electorate has not yet been counted.
Turnout is only meaningful once a substantial share of constituencies has declared. Early in a count it says more about which constituencies reported first than about how many people voted.
