The main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party submitted Wednesday night nearly 2,000 complaints about the voter list for September’s presidential election.
The complaints were lodged en masse with the Elections Commission shortly before the submission deadline expired at 10:30 pm.
Some 1,449 people on the list were below voting age, 412 were deceased, 76 names were repeated, 12 people were missing from the list, six voters were under the wrong address, and two names were misspelt, MDP found.
Citing the lack of national identity card numbers as the main issue, MDP declared it does not accept the present list as valid. The 263,181 voters cannot be sure their ID numbers are correct or match with their name and address, it added.
