The Electoral Commission has announced that it will organise the re-registration of the affected NHIS card registrants at various district offices from 18 July to the 28 of the same month.
The move is in line with the Supreme Court's ruling on May 5 where the EC was ordered to delete the voters' register of minors, NHIS card holders and dead people.
"If you get to the district offices, it is not a straight forward registration, you have to prove your eligibility," including proof of nationality, 18 years of age, proof of sound mind, resident in the particular area, passport and two guarantors.
