UGvoters16 is a package for the counts of Ugandan registered voters for the 2016 presidential election provided by the Electoral Commision (EC) of Uganda. This package contains the number of registered voters by polling station. This "controversial" data was claimed to contain atleast 20,000 "ghost voters" by members of the Ugandan media because the total count from the each polling station are not equal to the totals reported by the Electoral Commission.
