Adil further added that the IHERC is currently working on finalizing the list of the voters for the presidential and parliamentary elections and the independence referendum, and will soon provide necessary and developed technology for both processes. According to him, the IHERC official, efforts have been made to hold the independence referendum alongside with the parliamentary and presidential elections in November.
