A total of 209,552 new voters have been added so far, with 23,638 registered on Tuesday alone.
According to data compiled by the Election Commission as of 8 pm Tuesday, the newly registered voters include 122,740 men, 86,785 women, and 27 individuals from other categories.
Following the interim government’s announcement to hold the House of Representatives election on March 5, the Election Commission began updating the voter roll targeting Generation Z on September 25. The registration process will continue until November 16.
Citizens aged 18 and above with a Nepali citizenship certificate can register their names at provincial or district election offices between 8 am and 6 pm on working days.
Eligible citizens can also update their details, change their voting location in case of marriage or migration, or correct any errors in the voter roll.
To manage the growing number of service seekers, the commission has arranged 12-hour daily registration services in two shifts in districts where more than 800 registrations are being recorded daily, said Commission Spokesperson Narayan Prasad Bhattarai.
In the Kathmandu Valley, 14 additional registration staff have been deployed from the National ID and Registration Department. Similarly, Chief District Officers outside the Valley have been asked to assign extra personnel as needed, the Commission said.
