By The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced an extension of the ongoing voter registration exercise by an additional two days.
Originally scheduled to conclude on May 27, the exercise will now continue until Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
According to a statement from the EC, this decision was made to compensate for network issues that disrupted the process during its initial two days.
“This arrangement has been put in place to make up for the network challenges experienced during the first two (2) days of the Registration Exercise. The Commission aims to ensure that all eligible voters who wish to register, are afforded the opportunity to do so.
“We urge all eligible citizens who are yet to register to visit the Commission’s office in the district where they reside to register to vote.”
The limited voter registration exercise, which began on May 7, aims to enable first-time voters and other eligible individuals to obtain voter cards.
However, the process has encountered numerous challenges, including network issues and the registration of minors and foreigners.
Despite these issues, the EC has kept the public informed and has taken measures to address these problems throughout the period.
