She also said that the continuous voter registration has transited to a new level with the introduction of movement of men and materials from one Registration Area to another,  a step which she noted, will enhance fast and efficient delivery of the exercise to all the nook and corners of Kaduna state.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner, however,  advised new entrants and those with old permanent voter cards to find out the new polling units that are suitable and close to them to register.
