The ongoing voter registration exhibition exercise, intended to ensure that citizens are registered and ready for the upcoming general elections, has seen lower-than-expected turnout on day two of the nationwide voter exhibition exercise.
The Electoral Commission (EC) continues to face low turnout at most centers across the country. Despite the initial call to action and efforts by the EC to encourage citizens to verify their details ahead of the general elections, attendance has remained sparse in various constituencies.
Electoral officers report that there has been little to no improvement in turnout compared to the first day.
Many citizens express a lack of interest in the upcoming elections, leading to voter apathy, with some stating outright that they see no reason to check their details.
This prevailing attitude has raised concerns about engagement in the electoral process as the exhibition exercise runs until August 27.
Meanwhile, electoral officials have expressed optimism for the days ahead, predicting an increased turnup in coming days.
