On April 18, the Electoral Commission was expected to have commenced the exercise towards the compilation of a new voters register. But for the sudden upsurge of the novel Corona Virus (COVID-19), it became necessary for the exercise to be withheld. Considering all the possible events that might spring forth in the coming days, it has become necessary that we add our voice to this chorus and urge the Electoral Commission to as a matter of urgency, follow the trajectory it announced earlier.
