    "content": "registration bureau and the register of voters. They should be sharing information and cross- referencing data using technology. This will help when it comes to voter registration. Hon. Deputy Speaker, on this issue of verifying the voter register, I am happy with the recommendation that has been made that it should be done at the polling station. This is because at times, only one clerk is sent to a ward and voters are told to report to that one registration clerk for verification. In this Report, it is recommended that voter registration or verification should be done at the polling station. Another nice recommendation is time for verification. It has been extended from 60 days to 90 days. Therefore, that is very welcome. Another very important thing is that it is now going to be possible – if this Report is adopted – for the verification to be done online. There should be an online inspection of the Voter Register by individuals through a public portal. We are now in the digital era. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission should have done that a long time ago even before the recommendation of this Committee. They should come up with a public portal for voters to verify whether they are registered voters or not without going to their polling stations. Another issue which is very critical is that of not accepting the waiting card---"
