This will be done from 20th to the 25th of this month. Once we finish with that, we have over two weeks to work on the final register.”
He said the exercise will help them compiled a the final register and presented it to all political parties.
“All those who qualify to apply for special voting, that is the media, security services, and EC officials are to apply on the 25th of this month. We will put these ones on the absent voter’s list so that we will have the actual polling station register for each of them. Then the Electoral Commission will hand over the final register to political parties on November 11.”
