Voter registration drive ends today
KATHMANDU, AUG 23 -
The one-week extended deadline for voter registration drive is ending on Friday.
The Election Commission had given a week-long additional period for registering names on the biometric voter's list to those voters who missed earlier 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.
