After the Gen-G movement, the House of Representatives was dissolved on 27 Bhadra and the election date was set for 21 Falgun. After the election date was announced, the government amended the Voter Roll Act as the law prohibited the collection of voter rolls. As per the demand of Gen-G, the government amended the Voter Roll Act on 9 Asoj through an ordinance and made arrangements for the collection of voter rolls even after the election was announced. After the law was amended, the commission gave citizens who had reached the age of 18 until 30 Kartik to register their names in the voter roll. After that, the commission started collecting the voter rolls from 12 Asoj.

So far, an average of 6-7,000 people have been registered daily, but he estimates that the number could increase to 10,000 daily by the end of the month as the period is coming to an end.
