21st September, 2020 MISLEADING VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA The attention of the Electoral Commission has been drawn to a video circulating on social media purporting to be officials of the Commission printing Voter ID cards. The said video is accompanied by a caption which erroneously creates the impression that staff of the Commission are printing Voter ID cards after the expiration of the Registration Exercise. We entreat the public to disregard this video as it is false. During the just ended Registration Exercise, few Centres experienced the production of duplicate ID cards which resulted from Registration Kits bearing the same codes. This led to the printing of Voter ID cards with the similar numbers for different persons. The Commission is therefore replacing the duplicate cards for the affected persons. As such, the cards in the video belong to those persons with duplicate Voter ID numbers. They were authorized by the Commission, printed at the Headquarters and subsequently sent to the District Offices for lamination and distribution. The public is therefore advised to disregard this video. The Commission confirms that several District Offices have Voter ID cards which are being distributed to the affected persons and has attached the full list of the affected Districts for the information of the General Public. We entreat Political Parties to visit the affected District Offices to monitor the distribution of the duplicate cards to the affected persons.
