In fulfilment of regulation 3 of CI 91 as amended which requires us to provide at least 21 days\u2019 notice to the political parties, we have briefed all our political parties of the upcoming registration exercise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis took place on Thursday 7th March during our IPAC meeting and we shared with the parties the various centres nationwide as well as the movement plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to mention that the gazetted centres, our registration centres as well as our movement plan have been posted on our website. By informing the political parties as required by law, parties are now able to plan and prepare their agents to observe the voter registration exercise nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026We are confident that the arrangements we have deployed will help bring the registration activities closer to the doorstep of the citizenry. In 2023 we targeted approximately 700,000 new registrants and we far exceeded that by registering 910,000 new registrants. We have no doubt that with these arrangements in place, we will exceed our target of 623,000 new registrants this time around,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced its confidence in exceeding its target of 623,000 new registrants in the upcoming limited voter registration exercise.
