The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that the newly created Polling Units will be published next week ahead of the commencement of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
The Chairman of the Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, announced this on Monday during the presentation of fire engine to INEC by the Federal Fire Service in Abuja.
Yakubu noted that the commission accomplished the task for the first time in 25 years.
On the donation of the fire engine by the FFS, the INEC Chairman commended the Service, adding that 18 incidents out of the 42 attacks on the Commission’s facility were fire related.
He said; “We earlier assured Nigerians that we shall conclude work on the expansion of voter access to polling units and make the new polling units available to citizens ahead of the CVR exercise.
“I am glad to report that we have accomplished this task for the first time in 25 years. A comprehensive list of the new polling units will be published next week. Similarly, details of the locations of the registration centers and the procedure for the commencement of online registration will also be made available after a series of regular consultative meetings with stakeholders next week.”
