THE brother of a man who died in 2003, but who had a polling card delivered in his name, to his house, is calling on the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) to get its house in order before next Monday's general election.

Siewdath Bahal of Beuacarro Village, St Mary’s, Carapichaima told Newsday via phone call on April 22 that he received a polling card over the weekend in the name of his brother Devanand Bahal, who died in 2003. He said he received a similar polling card for his brother in the 2010 general election, but not in the 2015 elections.

“I didn’t take it on then because I thought the EBC had not updated their records.
