She told Parliament yesterday during the Vice President question time that the district registration centers were always open to the public and citizens were free to access them.
The Vice-President was responding to Mitete Member of Parliament (MP) Misheck Mutelo who wanted to know whether Government would extend the mobile issuance of NRCs in areas like Mitete in Western Province.

She explained that Government would not consider extending the mobile issuance of NRCs which came to an end on November 4, 2020.
Ms Wina added that there was need for the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to start preparing for the mobile voter registration process.
