The Independent Electoral Commission of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) announced on Monday (November 14) that 150,199 people had been caught registering to vote twice. Commission Chairman Apollinaire Malumalu said 300,398 of the names on the voter list had been registered twice with the same fingerprints. "Any voter who deliberately registers more than once will be struck off the electoral list," he said, referring to the article 45 in the country's voter bill. So far, cases of fraud have been only discovered in Kinshasa where registration ended in July. Registration started there late and is still taking place in several provinces because of logistical problems particularly in Bandundu and Equateur.
