SANA'A, April 26 ) Voter registration committees referred more than 30 violations to judicial authorities to deal with according to law.

Violations include enrolling a foreign woman on voter registers at one Hodeidah governorate poll center. Other violations include registering children who have not reached legal voting age, registering citizens at poll centers outside their electoral constituencies and forging voter identities.

Dr. Abdulmu'men Al-Shuja'a, head of the Supreme Commission for Elections and Referendum (SCER) legal section, reported the violations to media.

He pointed out that the SCER ordered voter registration committees working in the field to report any violations to prosecution. He stated that Wednesday was the deadline for voter requests to transfer from one electoral constituency to another, according to the specified timetable for voter registration modification.

Al-Shuja'a added that voter registration committees will continue reviewing registers of voters reaching legal voting age until Tuesday.
