It said the existing register and the verification machines were more efficient than the facial verification machines that the commission wanted to adopt. Even though the party said it was ready to engage with the commission and other political parties on the new register, it, however, stated that the party would not waiver in its opposition to the new register. He wondered why the register, which was used for the district election in December last year, had become obsolete for the parliamentary and presidential elections. He said if the register and the biometric verification machines could deliver new assembly members and unit committee members, then there was no need to change it.
