5. I have a complaint, what should I do?
The Commission treats all complaints and suspicious activity reports very seriously. Report the complain to an official of the Electoral Commission.

To file a complaint, report the incident to a Commissioner official. He or she will make a record of the complaint and can either resolve the matter to your satisfaction or refer the matter to the next higher officer of the Commission for further action.

6. Help! I lost my Voter I.D. Card.
It is important to keep a watchful eye on all your identifying documents including the Voters ID Card. Remember, you need your Voters ID card for easy identification on election day. However you will be allowed to vote without your ID card on election day due to the availability of the fingerprint/facial verification process.

Any person who loses his or her voter ID card will within 7 days of becoming aware of the loss report the loss in person to the district officer in his district.
