The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it will soon begin a new phase of Continuous Voter Registration Exercise, as it concludes engagements with stakeholders on the proposed expansion of voters’ access to Polling Units.
Speaking while declaring open a meeting of the Commission’s Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, at its Headquarters in Abuja, INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, said the Commission’s plan is to conclude the ongoing consultations and the actual work on the Polling Units in earnest so that the new locations will be made public for eligible registrants to choose where they wish to register and vote on election day.
The Commission as part of preparations for the 2023 general elections also directed all RECs to compile and submit an inventory of all election materials in order to determine shortfalls and take early steps to ensure their adequacy and availability.
