Grenada's two main political parties say that thousands of names are missing from a voter registration list as the eastern Caribbean island prepares for general elections.

The National Democratic Congress and New National Party say names that appeared on a list in September are missing from the newest list. The NNP said Friday that more than 1,200 names alone were removed from a constituency in the capital of St. George's.

The elections commission has not yet issued a statement.

The NDC said it believes that a glitch in the new online electoral system launched last year is to blame.

Grenada's prime minister dissolved Parliament on Wednesday to prepare for elections, leading to a rush in voter registration. An exact date has not yet been set.
