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 4,902,050 valid votes counted from 226 of 226 constituencies, most of the electorate has not been counted.

Turnout only becomes meaningful once a substantial share of constituencies has declared. Early on it says more about which constituencies reported first than about how many people voted.
