EC President, Fuwad Thaufeek told AVAS that those who cast their votes in the 2018 election in Male' City will not be required to re-register for voting in the city during this year's presidential election. However, from among those who voted in Male', those who wish to vote in Hulhumale' and Villimale' will have to re-register, he said.
