Ten candidates are running for the presidency while over a thousand are competing for the over 400 seats in parliament. 18 million people are eligible to vote.
The frontrunners for president are incumbent Yoweri Museveni, the Forum for Democratic Change’s Patrick Oboi Amuriat and Robert Kyagulanyi of the National Unity Platform (NUP).
Here's what the three men did on Tuesday.
Patrick Oboi Amuriat alias POA
The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) candidate made his last-ditch effort to rally voters in his home town of Ngora in north-eastern Uganda.
Amuriat alias POA has been arrested over a dozen times by security forces since campaigns opened in November.
