Electoral Reforms

Have your say

Article 118 of the Constitution obliges Parliament to invite the public into its law-making, and the bodies that draft instruments consult before they get there. These are the invitations issued on electoral law — each with the deadline the issuing body printed, in its own words.

Parliament publishes each invitation as a notice signed by the Clerk, naming the Bill by its House and number, the committee considering it, and the date and time written memoranda must arrive by. A commission or ministry publishes its own, on a draft it has written and not yet taken to a House. Those notices are what this page holds — not our summary of them, and every row names the body that issued it: Clerk of the National Assembly, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.

What this page does not have. We began recording participation windows on 8 July 2026. Parliament publishes each invitation as a current notice and keeps no public archive behind it, so windows that closed before that date are not listed here. This is a gap in what we can capture, not a statement that Parliament invited nothing earlier.

This month: showing only invitations opened between 1 August 2026 and 31 August 2026. 1 fall outside that window and are filtered out, not hidden. Show every period.

Invitations still accepting submissions. Each row names the body that issued it and the deadline that body printed — a Bill before Parliament carries its committee, a draft instrument carries the agency that wrote it.

Nothing has closed yet since we began recording.

How to submit

Memoranda go to the body that asked for them, not to Mzalendo. Each window above prints that body's own address — the Clerk's postal box and email for a Bill before Parliament, the commission's for a draft it is consulting on — so send to those, quoting the Bill by the House and number where the notice gives one. Mzalendo runs a separate submission form for views you want us to carry — that form is here — and it is not a substitute for writing to the issuing body before the deadline.
