The Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan (IEC) on Monday said that details of over seven million voters have been entered into the IEC database.

IEC chief Abdul Badi Sayyad meanwhile reported that sensitive election material has arrived in the country, adding that the material will be dispatched to 5,100 polling stations across the country.

“The sensitive election material consists of election ink, training booklets for employees and the booths where voters will cast their votes,” said IEC chief Sayyad.

The IEC initially decided to announce the final voter list on 15 October. But the election commission has now decided to announce the voter list in a phased process.

In this episode of the program, host Karim Amini discusses the topic with Abdullah Ahmadzai, secretary of the IEC, Shah Mahmoud Mal, member of FEFA and Kubra Rezaye, deputy spokesman of IEC.
