THE WEBSITE for the registration of votes living outside their constituency crashed after more than 10,000 voters tried to put down their names yesterdVoteray morning.

They were registering for the upcoming referendum on the draft charter. Online registration had been made available for voters from May 1 till the end of June at the Dopa Election website. So far, more than 100,000 voters living outside their constituency have registered for the plebiscite, with as many as 70,000 doing so via this website.

Since yesterday was the last day for registration online, thousands of voters logged on at the same time resulting in the crash.

Voters living outside their constituency have until July 7 to register at district offices across the country.
