The much anticipated public forum on the call for a new voters register for next year’s elections is ongoing at the Alisa Hotel.

A five-member panel set up by the Electoral Commission is conducting public hearings over the next two days to arrive at a concensus whether or not to change the current voters register.

Political parties and civil society groups which have sent proposals to the EC over the demand for a new register are before the panel to justify their positions.

Others against the call for a new register would make their case why the current register must be maintained.
