SWABI, June 3: The district election commission has directed government school teachers who took part in the voter registration process to remove errors in the new voter lists and return the corrected lists at earliest, it is learnt.

Sources said on Sunday that the teachers of the public sector schools had updated the voter lists, but numerous mistakes had been committed by them during the registration process.

They said that the ages of a number of voters were not mentioned in the lists.

However, some teachers had denied the charges and said that the mistakes had been done by computer operators, they said.

They said that the teachers were directed to go to their respective region and correct the voters’ lists.

The sources said that it was admitted that in the local bodies’ elections in 2005 the names of a number of voters were missing from the lists.
