The Electoral Commission (EC) will end the voter registration exercise today. The exercise, which started on May 7 was expected to end on Monday, but it further extended to end on today, May 29, 2024.
A statement from the EC explained that the extension of the registration date was to make up for the network failure that affected the smooth start of the exercise on the first two days.
The EC urged all eligible citizens who were yet to register to visit the Commission’s registration centers in districts where they resided to register to enable them to vote on December 7.
The limited voter registration exercise started across the country, with a target to register 623,000 eligible persons onto the electoral register.
The exercise is meant for persons who have turned 18 and others who have not previously registered to vote.
The voter registration exercise is being carried out in 1,053 registration centres, made up of 268 district offices of the Electoral Commission (EC) and 785 additional centres in hard-to-reach areas agreed on with political parties.
