Thakur registers his name on biometric voter's list
KATHMANDU, AUG 23 - Tarai Madhes Loktantrik Party (TMLP) Chairman Mahanta Thakur registered his name on the biometric voter's list on the last date of the extended deadline for voter registration on Friday.
The one-week extended deadline for voter registration drive is ending on Friday.
According to Sambhu Chalise, Election Commissioner of Kathmandu, Thakur clicked photo for the registration at the election office in Babarmahal this afternoon.
The Election Commission had given a week-long additional period for registering names on the biometric voter's list to those voters who missed the previous deadline.
Earlier, the EC had collected the voter's name list until mid-July. The drive was launched to replace the old voter identity cards with new ones having photographs of voters and their biometric details.
The EC is preparing to publish the final name list of the voters on September 7.
The EC has so far registered 12.3 million voters from among the estimated 15.4 million eligible citizens, while over 100,000 more voters are expected to be added in the list after the reopened week-long registration drive.
