Furthermore, the EC has assured the public that if there is a backlog of unregistered voters at the end of the initial 21-day registration period, the exercise will be extended accordingly.
According to the Commission, this proactive approach seeks to address any potential challenges and uphold the integrity of the voter registration process.
By adapting to offline registration mode, the EC endeavours to maintain the efficiency and accessibility of voter registration.
