Dr Friday noted that the electoral office must ensure that there is integrity during the removal of names from the voters list and that no voter should be disenfranchised.

Questions were also raised about the composition of the voters list, the registration process, and the procedure that is used to remove the names of persons who have died from the voters list.

The supervisor of elections committed to doing all in her power to produce an accurate voters list and to continue the dialogue with the NDP.
