1. Voter Registration was launched on 14th September 2017. Voter Registration at static centres (63 ZEC District Offices) started on 18th September 2017 and the |
National Blitz on 10th October 2017 with 2 697 kits deployed and 303 as back up. Mop- Up has a total of 2,886 centres and a total of 490 kits and |
