Kathmandu, February 22
The Election Commission has published the voter list for the Nepal presidential election scheduled to be held on March 9.
The list includes 331 members of the federal parliament and 550 others from the provincial assemblies, informs the commission.
Whereas there are 334 lawmakers in the federal parliament, including 275 of the House of Representatives and 59 of the National Assembly, only 331 have made it to the list as one parliamentary seat is vacant and two lawmakers are suspended.
This, however, is not the final list as it is open to complaints and protests. After investigation, the commission will publish the final list on Friday.
Candidates are required to file their nominations on Saturday.
