In a recent statement, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) announced that individuals identified as outsiders or foreign nationals will be removed from the electoral roll. This measure is part of broader efforts to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.

The CEO emphasized that maintaining a reliable voter registry is essential for upholding the democratic principles of the electoral system. Voter lists are typically verified through multiple methods, including residency checks and documentation verification.

The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about election security and eligibility criteria, with various stakeholders stressing the importance of accurate voter data to prevent potential fraud and ensure that only eligible citizens participate in elections. Further guidance on the verification process and criteria for determining voter eligibility is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
