The National Election Commission said on Sunday that it has completed drawing up the list of voters for the elections set to be held on April 15.
 
According to the election watchdog, the number of eligible voters came to around 43-point-99 million, up four-point-five percent from 42-point-one million in the last general elections held four years earlier.
 
About 43-point-82 million people will vote at home, while some 172-thousand people will vote abroad.
