These category of voters are expected to submit their voter ID card details to the Director of IT Projects at the EC’s headquarters not later than Thursday, October 15.

“Lists received after the 15th of October, 2020 will not be processed.”

The main elections – both parliamentary and presidential – will be held on Monday, December 7.
