The National Registration Bureau, having worked overtime at the weekend, released hundreds of IDs expected to be distributed from today but the polls team would not budge. “Our position is that we will not extend voter listing deadline expiring tomorrow (today). As far as we are concerned the commission has made progress and we have enough voters in our register,” said Mr Chiloba. “Those in East Africa will be allowed to register using the ID cards...those in South Africa will use passports,” said the commission. Meanwhile, the government and the electoral commission yesterday distanced themselves from claims that it was registering voters using National Youth Service (NYS) personnel.
