He also said the 11 days long provisional voters’ roll inspection and voter registration mop-up exercises will also offer prospective voters the opportunity to change polling stations.
“We are going to set those registration centres and they will run concurrently with the inspection of the voters’ roll so that those who inspect the voters’ roll and see a mistake on their details can go and get those details corrected. All those who have not registered can take the opportunity to register,” Pudurai said.
He also said the statistics of people who have registered to vote was impressive with more young people showing an avid interest to participate in the electoral cycle.local
