The Uganda electoral commission is in charge of ensuring a free and fair election and they have created an online database exactly for this purpose.
To find your voter polling station, go to the commission’s website, specifically this page www.ec.or.ug/api/voter/id from your internet-connected smartphone or laptop. Enter your national ID NIN number. You’ll be presented with your details.
You should see your full names, voter number, village, district, constituency, sub county, parish and polling station name.
The commission is also giving out voter allocation slips which are physical copies of this exact information. This is intended for people without smartphones or internet connection.
