The Election Commission opened re-registration for the second round of the election at 3 pm last Friday. The deadline expired at 4 pm yesterday.
The Election Commission said in a statement today that more than 19,000 applications have been processed out of more than 47,000 applications submitted online, at its counters and through provincial focal points within three days. More than 27,000 forms are in the process of being validated.
