A recent mass voter registration effort has resulted in significant transfers of voters between polling stations.

These transfers occurred both within the same county and between different counties.

According to reports, hundreds of thousands of voters changed their polling stations for various reasons, including being persuaded by politicians.

The transfers have become a high-stakes issue, particularly for aspirants seeking to win party primaries and elections by having their supporters register and transfer to strategic locations.

In one instance, several individuals were arrested in Eastleigh for possessing voter transfer forms illegally.
