He stated that as of March 2 this year, the voter count was 123,732,274. Subsequently, door-to-door data collection was conducted to reinstate omitted voters.
During this update process, 4,571,216 new voters were added, while 2,132,590 names were removed from the list. As a result, the supplementary voter list as of June 30 totals 126,170,900 voters nationwide.
