We Won’t Postpone Date For Compilation Of New Voters Register Because Of COVID-19 — EC

The Electoral Commission has dismissed reports that compilation of the new voters’ register scheduled for April 18 will be postponed.

Sources within the Commission told a renowned news portal there is no immediate intention of postponing the Exercise.

The Commission is set to compile a new electoral roll on the said date despite intense public and political resistance.

The inter-party resistance against new Voters Register had already downplayed EC’s preparedness for the April 18th exercise.

The resistance has been skeptical for the EC’s ability to conduct the exercise within the limited time available for the December 7th General Elections.

Until the Commission rescinds on its decision, then the exercise may probably be held despite the current state of affairs.
