The Independent Election Commission (IEC) on Saturday said that 30,000 Afghans across the country got their voting cards.
The IEC officials said that until now from the day of opening of the registration centres, 25,000 men and 5,000 women have registered their names to participate in the upcoming Presidential election.
The officials added that 441 registration centers will be opened in two months time across Afghanistan.
"Around 30,000 Afghans got new voting cards in 41 centers across the country to participate in the election. 5,000 of them are women and we hope to register more people," the IEC Spokesman Noor Mohammad Noor told TOLOnews.
Meanwhile, the Afghan Lawmakers said that local powerful figures in most parts of the country are getting more than one voting card.
"Voting cards are being distributed illegally, which will be used in the upcoming election as well," MP Fatima Aziz said.
On the other hand, the distribution of electronic ID cards is increasing the hopes of having a transparent election but the Afghan Interior Ministry said that the distribution of electronic ID cards will begin only after the Law on Population Census is approved by the Lower House.
"We have to move forward with the help of programmes that we made and hope that the Law is approved as soon as possible," the Interior Ministry Spokesman Sediq Sediqi told TOLOnews.
The IEC has said that it will distribute voting cards to four million Afghan citizens in nine months.
