EC asks students to contact district and regional offices

The Electoral Commission (EC) on Thursday asked students who registered in schools and have already left their campuses to contact the nearest regional or district office of the commission where they will be resident on December 28 so as to vote in he run-off.

A statement signed by Henry W. Okyne, Director of Public Affairs, said the students would be required to produce evidence of their voter registration and school identification card, or any other document that can identify them as students.

The students should make the contact although registrars and heads of second cycle institutions have been asked to compile and submit lists of students who would want to transfer their votes.

It said this would enable the students to go through temporary transfer proceedings for the run-off in the presidential election.
