The Electoral Commission (EC) began the nationwide voters' registration exercise on Tuesday, June 30, 2020.
This follows a green light by the Supreme Court to compile a new electoral roll ahead of the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.
The Commission said the exercise will be held at about 6.788 clusters made up of five registration centres each.
This means a total of 33,367 registration centres will be situated within the country and the exercise is expected to be conducted in phases, each spanning six days.
