“All eligible voters are therefore expected to go to their polling centres to cast their votes,” she said.
She said registered voters whose voter identity cards are missing can still go to the polling centres to cast their votes since their particulars are already in the final register and also their particulars have been inculcated and uploaded in the biometric verification devices.
Therefore, voters who have misplaced their identity cards are still encouraged to their respective polling centres to cast their votes.
