The Electoral Commission began issuing copies of the National Voters Register to presidential candidates, starting with representatives from the ruling National Resistance Movement and the opposition National Unity Platform. The commission says it will give copies to other candidates in line with the law as distribution continues. Some opposition figures criticize the timing, while presidential candidate Robert Kasibante accuses the commission of withholding the register from his campaign and threatens to boycott the election.
