Elections Commission has said that 61 complaints have been received regarding re-registration for the Parliamentary Election scheduled for 22 March.

Re-registration is required by persons wishing to vote from a location other than their permanent residences.

Director General of Elections Commission Mohamed Shakeel told Sun Online that the deadline for filing complaints regarding re-registration passed last night, and that details will be available when the processing of the complaints is completed.

Shakeel said that the list cannot be changed unless a person is registered at a location other than the one he requested due to an error made by the commission.
