| | The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has registered a total of 512,560 women and 465,382 men for the parliamentary, presidential and regional council elections, bringing the total number of eligible voters to 977,942. | | | This allows parliamentary seats to be allocated according to the percentage of the national vote that political parties win during the National Assembly elections. | | | This figure later increased to 29 per cent after certain male legislators resigned and were replaced by women - putting Namibia within reach of having 30 percent of seats in the legislature filled by women by 2005. |
