Some specific groups of people whose names are yet to be captured in the new voters’ register will be given the opportunity to do so on October 1, 2020, according to the Electoral Commission (EC).
Some of the people expected to participate in this limited registration are; voters who were outside the country due to COVID-19 restrictions, those who were under a 14-day mandatory quarantine and could not take part in the mass voter registration, and eligible voters who were duly issued voter ID cards but whose names are missing from the register under exhibition.
The registration will take place in the EC district offices across the country and will run from 7am to 6pm.
There is however controversy surrounding this new registration with political parties raising concerns that such voters will not be able to take part in the December polls since the registration wouldn’t have met the statutory 60-day period.
