The registration, if successfully carried out as scheduled, will then be followed by an exhibition of the register between Tuesday, June 6, and Saturday, June 10.

All these will be in preparation for this year’s district-level and unit committee elections proposed to be held on Tuesday, October 3.

The elections are expected to serve as a test case for the next general elections in 2024.
