She was speaking at the commencement of the continuous voter registration.

Zakari said that the introduction of the innovations was to make the continuous voter registration easier for the populace, especially those registering for the first time.

She re-stated that the registration was to update and validate the voters’ register in accordance with existing laws before the general elections.
