Voter registration hours extended over Easter weekend

THE Parliamentary Registration Department has extended its operating hours over the Easter weekend in New Providence, as voters have just days left to register for the general election set for May 12. #Registration sites saw a significant influx of people within 24 hours after Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis announced the long-anticipated election date on Wednesday. On Thursday, Parliamentary Commissioner Harrison Thompson told reporters the number of people visiting registration sites had increased tremendously. He acknowledged earlier reports of long lines and delays of up to an hour. #The prime minister has advised the Governor General to dissolve Parliament on April 8, with writs of election to be issued the following day, formally launching the campaign period. #Mr Thompson stressed that the voters register for this election will close at the end of Wednesday, April 8. #The Parliamentary Registration Department will be open this Saturday from 10am to 8pm at all satellite offices and the main headquarters. It will also open on Easter Monday from 10am to 8pm at select locations, including Gambia Primary School, Fox Hill Community Centre, and the Kendal Isaacs Gym.
