Over 30,000 persons will be left off voters’ list if house-to-house registration data not used

Charging that the PPP/C has no interest in credible elections, the PNCR, the majority partner in the coalition government, on Friday said that if data gathered during the house-to-house registration is not used as the opposition party is insisting, over 30,000 persons will be left off the voters’ list.

“The PNCR maintains its call for a clean and inclusive list. The ruling of the Chief Justice that the house-to-house registration was legal was accepted by all. The use of the data will not impact negatively on the election date. It should, therefore, be used in the interest of free and fair elections, elections in which every eligible and qualified citizen is able to exercise the franchise,” party executive Joseph Harmon said at the party’s weekly press conference.
