Alternatively, the Commission has introduced an SMS platform to enable registered voters to access their registration details without necessarily going to the polling station.
In order to access this platform, voters can simply text their voter’s ID number to the short code 1422 to obtain their registration details.
The statement also directed voters who registered at various district offices of the Commission to visit the Polling Stations assigned to them to verify their details.
“Voters who registered at the District Offices of the Commission should visit the Polling Station assigned to them during the registration exercise to verify their details.”
“The public is informed that changes to a person’s details can be requested at the exhibition centre and effected at the District Office” the statement noted.
