Despite being posted as the "final numbers for 2017 registered voters" on the Parliamentary Registration Department's (PRD) Facebook page, Parliamentary Commissioner Sherlyn Hall said yesterday the department was still removing the names of dead people from the register.
The information was revealed on the PRD's page on Wednesday.
As of April 26, 2017 there were 181,675 people registered to vote.
Hall said, "We are still taking out dead people because we find people who are dying so we still taking off dead people.
"...We are going to certify the register on the 1st of May.
"We are still doing corrections."
The PRD has faced widespread criticism over the state of the register, when it was revealed that hundreds of discrepancies existed, including the names of hundreds of people appearing twice on the register.
The register also showed some voters' dates of birth as being in the 1700s and 1800s. Some people appeared on the register as being born this year.
Hall said these discrepancies were due to "human error".
According to Article 25(2) of the Parliamentary Elections Act, the parliamentary commissioner shall within 14 days of the day of the issue of the writ of election publish the appropriate parts of the register in the Gazette.
The writ of election was issued on April 11.
The general election will take place on May 10.
