Why does the voter register displayed on the ECZ website, marked 2025, show just over seven million registered voters, while the Commission publicly announced a figure exceeding 8.8 million? A discrepancy of more than 1.7 million voters is not a rounding error. It is not a footnote.

DATA, NOT SENTIMENT, WILL DECIDE THE 2026 ELECTIONS
