The biometric voter registration has started at almost all VRCs in the country.

Also in the statement, Chief Electoral Officer, Polycarp Haununu said all eligible electors who are resident within a first phase of the registration should avail themselves to register since each voter registration center has seven days to complete its work.

Meanwhile, the Chief Electoral Officer said the Commission has observed teething challenges at the start of the biometric voter registration and are working on addressing them on a day to day basis.
