The Independent Election Commission (IEC) says the security forces have promised to ensure the safety of 5,100 voting centers with the help of foreign forces on election day.

“At least 21,000 polling stations will be established and the list has already been shared (with security officials). Security plans have been made for them and we have been assured that the safety of the centers is ensured,” IEC spokesman Sayed Hafizullah Hashemi said at a press conference on Wednesday. 

The IEC officials said the commission has deleted the names of 87,000 people from amongst four million voters which were included in the database. This was due to incomplete information.
