The number of voters re-registering to vote in locations other than their home islands has exceeded predictions, reports the Elections Commission (EC).
The EC said that by the closure of the August 8 deadline, 65,745 people had re-registered, surpassing original estimates of 65,000, “a great response”.
EC President Fuwad Thowfeek told local media 61,130 re-registrations had been completed, and was waiting to receive 3115 forms from resorts and political parties, and a further 1500 from the islands, but warned that incomplete or invalid forms could change the final tally.
The EC will publish the final voter registry on August 20.
