The decision to have a new voter register to form the base of election 2020, was disclosed at last Wednesday’s (March 27, 2019) EC stakeholder meeting under the auspices of the Inter-Party Advisory Committee. Another alleged that the voter register is bloated with names of foreigners, mainly from neighbouring countries and even dead people thus the need for the EC to clear such names. Seeking a new voter register is a waste of money,” a lady argued. And also the time frame for the EC to compile a new voter register to them is very limited and they may be prone to mistakes they are trying to avoid.
