Late Arrival Of Materials: No Voter’ll Be Disenfranchised – INEC
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said no voter will be disenfranchised in the Edo governorship election, due to the late arrival of election materials.
The National Commissioner Mohammed Haruna, in a statement, said the commission’s monitoring of the election from its situation room at the National Headquarters in Abuja showed early commencement of polls in many polling units, “but there are also reports of late commencement in some locations.”
Haruna who is a member of the Information and Voter Education Committee, stated that to ensure that no voter is disenfranchised, “the Commission wishes to reiterate that, in line with our regulations and guidelines, voting will be extended wherever it commenced late and will continue until the last voter on the queue who arrived at the polling unit by 2.30 pm has voted.”
He added that the attention of the INEC office in Edo State has been drawn “to ensure that, where necessary, there is adequate power supply from our backup electric generators in the affected polling units or ward collation centres.”
