Commission Chairlady Ms Halima Ismael Ibrahim, alias Halima Yareey, on Saturday spoke to members of the Lower House of Parliament (better known as Golaha Shacabka – the people’s hall), proposing two methods of conducting the election.
One method will involve voters being registered on election day as they vote, while the other involves pre-registration of voters on a roll before the election day.
The method of registering voters on election day is simpler and requires less time and resources, Ms Yareey told the MPs.
But if the leaders opt for voter registration before elections, this mode will require at least 13 months’ preparation, Ms Yareey told the MPs.
“This process must ensure that all eligible citizens receive voter cards,” she said, adding that all political parties would also be required to have proper registration before the election.
