THERE were more doubting Thomases than those who believed that the EC would be able to meet the deadline for the preparation of a final voter list with photographs. Not everyone realises what a tremendous achievement it has been, given that we have also got our national identification (NID) card, for all those that were involved in the process, right from its conceptualisation 'till its completion.

We congratulate all concerned

“It is going to be a list of quality no less than that of America or England,” said Dr Mohammed Yusuf, one of the consultants for the survey titled “Monitoring Voter Listing Process and Focus Group Research.”
