Since the an­nounce­ment of the April 28 date for the Gen­er­al Elec­tion, there has been a surge in the num­ber of peo­ple vis­it­ing the of­fices of the Elec­tions and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion (EBC) across the coun­try.

Cit­i­zens have been go­ing to the of­fices to check their vot­er reg­is­tra­tion sta­tus, to change their ad­dress and re­new and col­lect their iden­ti­fi­ca­tion cards in prepa­ra­tion for the up­com­ing elec­tion.

At the EBC Reg­is­tra­tion Area Of­fice for San Fer­nan­do and Pe­nal/Debe at Cir­cu­lar Road in San Fer­nan­do yes­ter­day, there was a steady flow of cus­tomers.
