Enrolment agents

This follows the deployment of 810 enrolment agents earlier this week for the biggest roll update to be done in the Nation’s Capital.

NCD Election Manager, Terrence Hetinu, says his team is faced with many obstacle and challenges to get this exercise going.

“Security is one of the main priorities for the enrolment agents whilst visiting the wards.”

He says in other provinces, the cost is very low for such exercises to be rolled out but in NCD alone, it is quite costly. This is because each of the 12 wards comprises of 80 to 90 thousand residents.

The National Electoral Commission deployed 810 enrolment agents into all 12 wards to update NCD voters’ information.

Election Manager Terrence Hetinu made it clear during the deployment of the agents that only those that had turned 18 years of age, between the last elections in 2012, and have turned 26 by this year, or before the elections next year, will be accepted as new enrollees for the 2017 elections.

“We will be specifically looking at the age groups between 18 and 26 and not more or less than that age group.”
