Seychelles Financial Articles Add comments

In 2011, the Electoral Commissioner’s Office will register voters in larger districts electronically. A pilot system will be used by the registration officers to make the procedure easier and quicker.

Commissioner Hendrick Gappy expects an increase in the number of people registering to vote in this year’s election because of the new system. Voters will have to show a national identity card to the registration officer and they will receicve the necessary information from them. As a result, a certificate will be produced more quickly than with the manual system.

The election date has not been announced yet, but it should be before the end of May 2011.
