According to the statement, “Commuters who may have a reason to use the state as a passage are pre informed of the restrictions to help adjust their plans ahead of the D-day.
“However, security personnel, medics, health workers, firefighters and other essential service providers are allowed free movements to carry out their duties. Cases of Emergency are considered also for movement.”
The CP urged all eligible voters to abide by the rules guiding the electoral process while carrying out their civic duty.
