Electoral Commission begins issuing final National Voters Register to presidential candidates

According to the Daily Monitor, the Electoral Commission began handing hard copies of the final National Voters Register to presidential candidates' representatives, with NRM officials collecting first and NUP officials later the same day. EC spokesperson Julius Mucunguzi said the register runs to about one million pages and that all eight candidates would be called to collect and verify it. An NUP official faulted the delay, saying it left little time to study the register, and said the party had raised unanswered complaints about duplicated voters.
