The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that it will embark on the new voters’ registration exercise in five clusters.
The Director of Electoral Services at the EC, Dr. Serebour Quaicoe told Graphic Online that the exact date for the registration exercise would be announced later but it is expected to start in the last week of June 2020.
He said the commission has planned to use 38 days for the entire exercise and that it was targetting between 16million and 16.5million people to register.
About 8500 BVRs are expected to be used for the exercise.
Graphic Online understands that at Wednesday’s IPAC meeting, the EC said all was set for the deployment of the new biometric voter registration technology which will lead to the compilation of the new voters’ register.
In line with the requirements of the law, political parties will be informed of the exact date not later than 21 days before the start of the exercise after the Constitutional Instrument (C.I.) which is currently before Parliament matures.
