The Resident Electoral Commissioner maintained that double registration is an offence as clearly enshrined in the Electoral Act 2022, but unfortunately, hence all necessary measures would be implored in ensuring that the challenge was fully addressed.

“We have observed that many of the people who show up for the registration already have their Permanent Voter Card(PVC).”
