\u201cSadly others who are supposed to vote in the city hall are also not appearing in the voters’ rolls. Let\u2019s hope IEC will assist them soon,\u201d he posted on X.<\/p>\n

He told the Dispatch: \u201cThere was a bit of confusion from their side. Me and some of my members eventually voted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2021 (local government elections) I voted here so when I came I was told I would vote in a nearby voting station.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve cast my vote, there\u2019s nothing these things can do to distract us.\u201d<\/p>\n
