KATHMANDU, July 23: In a bid to finalize the new electoral rolls with photo and biometrics for the upcoming Constituent Assembly (CA) election, the Election Commission (EC) has published voter lists across the country to entertain claims and objections over particulars incorporated in the lists.



The commission has registered 12.3 million voters in the new electoral rolls with photo and biometrics, within the last three years.

The constitutional body on Tuesday published the new electoral rolls at 4,721 ward offices of village development committees and municipalities across the country, a week after it completed the new voter registration process. [break]



The EC has given four days starting Wednesday to make claims for corrections in the new electoral roll.

According to a notice issued by the commission, voters who want the EC to make corrections in their personal details and change their permanent address if they have migrated to another place, can make such claims with necessary evidence by July 27.



Similarly, anyone who has a claim or objection concerning any name in the list can come up with evidence to support his or her case, at the ward offices by July 29.

The registered voters can check their names at the ward offices as well as in the official website of the EC, www.election.gov.np.

The EC has appealed to registered voters to inform the district office of the commission or the EC itself if their names are not found in the new electoral rolls.

Likewise, voters who have registered from other districts and do not find their names in the native district can enquire about it at the office of the district election commission where they got registered.



According to EC officials, once the process of claims and objections concludes, the commission will make corrections accordingly and finalize the voter lists.

Though Madhes-based political parties have been demanding that the EC give some more time for voter registration, the commission has said that it cannot do so as that would affect the calendar of events for the November 19 poll, which has already been brought into effective.

The code of conduct for the upcoming CA election has already come into force from Monday.
