Final hours to change voting location for council polls and referendum

The Elections Commission has announced that the deadline for voter re-registration for the upcoming April local council and women's development committee elections, as well as a referendum on consolidating national polls, expires at 3:00 pm today. Only voters wishing to change their polling location from the 2024 Parliamentary Elections need to re-register.
