Revisit areas not covered in issuance of NRCs

Anti Voter Apathy Project AVAP Executive Director Bonnie Tembo has called on government to revisit areas that were not adequately covered during the mobile issuance of National Registration Cards NRCs.

Mr. Tembo noted that if this is not done, the ongoing voter registration exercise by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is bound to be a failure.

He says government should honour its pledge to go back to the areas that were not adequately covered due to unforeseen circumstances.

Mr Tembo said for the voter registration exercise to capture the targeted number of 2.5 million news voters, there is need to revisit areas which were not adequately covered.

Meanwhile Mr. Tembo has bemoaned the inadequate publicity of the on-going voter registration exercise.
