EC to conduct special voting on December 1

This year’s special voting will be held on Tuesday, December 1, ahead of the main election on December 7.

 The EC in a statement said the special voting is reserved for voters who as a result of their duties on Election day (December 7) will be unable to vote at the polling stations they registered.

It covers only security personnel, media personnel and election officials.

The results of this special vote will however not be declared until after the general election.
