Members of each constituency validation committee include the Constituency Chairman of the Council of Elders, Chairperson, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Organiser, Women’s Organiser, Research and Elections Officer, IT Officer, and representatives of the presidential aspirants. A former constituency executive may also be invited to verify historical data.
