Independent Election Commission (IEC) officials said Saturday that the commission’s goal is to register between five and seven million voters, but that they have printed 18 million stickers to use if the number of voters goes up. 
 
In the voter registration process, the election commission pastes the stickers on the original ID cards of voters and on election day voters can only vote if they have the stickers on their ID cards. 
 
While the institutions overseeing the election process say that printing 18 million stickers is questionable and provides the context for election fraud, the election commission said the stickers have been printed as a precaution.
