After the display exercise, the lists of persons recommended for deletion from the National Voters Register shall also be displayed for ten (10) days, from 16th May to 26th May 2025, at each respective Parish/Ward Headquarters.
This supplementary display exercise aims at enabling any person who may have been wrongly recommended for deletion to object to the Parish/Ward Tribunal.

The general public should carefully note the following:
- This is a very important exercise, which could determine whether you vote on polling day or not.
