Reasons to check your name in the updated voters list
Checking your name on the revised voters list (electoral roll) is much more important than you think. Here is why:
- To check out any errors in regard to your name, age, and even address because such an error might create issues during voting.
- To ascertain which polling station you are supposed to vote from, since voting stations vary depending on your current address. This is especially so if you have been recently relocated or if there are any changes in regard to your current constituency.
- Consistent checking of your vote ensures that there is no duplication of your votes or anything suspicious going on regarding your name.
- If you have recently attained the age of 18 years, been relocated or even changed your name, then it is essential for you to double-check that this information is correct.
