Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>\u2022 Targets first-time voters<\/b><\/p>\n

The Electoral Commission is holding voter registration outside of its main office today as part of activities to coincide with International Day of Democracy.<\/p>\n

According to its chief registration officer, Sheena Boniface, they have set up locations at STC Hypermarket, Independence House as well as at the Seychelles Tourism Academy.<\/p>\n

Ms Boniface said as usual they are encouraging voters to check their names on the register, especially first-time voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe station at STA is part of our outreach programme at academic institutions and we hope to register at least 29 young voters there today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

There are 3326 eligible first-time voters for the period 2021\/2022 and Ms Boniface said already 7 percent have registered, which represents 242 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may not seem like a lot but it is more than what we usually get during a non-election year,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

The Electoral Commission says the special stations at Independence House and STC Hypermarket will open from 10am till 5pm.<\/p>\n

Members of the public are invited to submit their applications for registration as a voter, transfer, change of name, correction, or objections at the centres.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme for International Day of Democracy is \u2018Protecting Press Freedom for Democracy\u2019.<\/p>\n
