Nov 14, Kathmandu - Prime Minister Sushila Karki has requested the Election Commission to extend the deadline, keeping in mind the enthusiasm and pressure seen in the voter registration process.

Prime Minister Karki spoke to the Commission's acting Chief Election Commissioner Ramrasad Bhandari on Friday and requested for an extension. Commissioner Bhandari has informed Prime Minister Sushila Karki that the Commission is positive about this and that the deadline can be extended by 5 days.

Since it is possible to register names in the voter list based on the details of the national identity card, there has been a high pressure to register names online since Thursday. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Karki has also expressed concern about the problems seen in the internet server.

Commissioner Bhandari informed that the same issue is also being resolved.
