“The voters must present their registration papers in order to verify their identification”, she says. According to her, those agents will be responsible for posting the provisional lists of voters, receiving and registering the complaints related to the omission, correction and appeals against registration.
Ms. Niyonkuru says the provisional lists will be sent to the CENI office after verification in order to proceed with the computerization of corrections. “The Electoral commission will later on go on with the definitive electoral lists and the voters’ cards,” she says.
CENI Deputy Chairperson says no new registration is allowed during the posting period of provisional voters’ lists. However, according to the CENI ruling on the posting of provisional lists of voters in its article 3, it is stipulated that the persons who, with official documents, justified their absence to the electoral registration centers from 8 to 17 February are authorized to register for the election.
From the beginning to the completion of the registration, 5,008,742 people including 2,382,388 men and 1,618,354 women have registered for the constitutional amendment scheduled for May 2018 and 2020 elections.
