At least two people were killed on Wednesday in a bombing that targeted a voter registration center in northern Afghanistan, officials said.
The bomb, which left two people injured, was placed in a school used as a voter registration center in Pul-e-Khomri, the capital of northern Baghlan province, provincial spokesman Mahmood Haqmal told AFP.
"One police and one employee of the election commission were killed and two police have been wounded," he said.
Baghlan police spokesman Zabiullah Shuja confirmed the incident, saying that police had launched an investigation.
No one claimed responsibility for the attack but the Taliban and the ISIS group in Afghanistan have vowed to disrupt the parliamentary and district council elections scheduled for October 20.
Wednesday's attack is the latest assault on a voter registration center aimed at deterring people from signing up for the long-delayed polls.
On April 22 a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a center in Kabul, killing 60 people and wounding more than 100.
The registration process was launched on April 14, and as of Tuesday over five million people had registered to vote, according to the latest data released by the Independent Election Commission (IEC).
The IEC, which is overseeing preparations for the vote, hopes to register up to 14 million adults at more than 7,000 polling centers.
Late on Tuesday, at six soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack in the western Badghis province.
Abdul Aziz Beg, head of the provincial council, said the attack on an army post set off a two-hour gunbattle, with the insurgents stealing ammunition and two army vehicles.
