By A Staff Reporter Kathmandu, May 12: Arrangement has been made for the voters to cast their votes in the local level election to be 

held on Friday by showing voter identity cards, citizenship certificates or national ID card or passports or land ownership certificate. 

Issuing a statement, the Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday informed that the voters included in the final voters’ list can cast their votes showing their voter ID cards or original copy of citizenship certificate, national ID cards, or passports or land ownership certificates.
