the problem probably is that the line before your SQL query is missing semicolon (;). The error begins in $sql so it has to be something before.

$a = 10
$sql = "UPDATE reg_voters_t SET county='$county', constituency='$constituency', regcenter='$regcenter' WHERE IDNo='$IDNo'";

line before code containing '$sql' declaration is missing semicolon
