Anambra Guber: INEC deploys non-sensitive materials to 21 LGAs

As November 18 governorship election in Anambra State approaches, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has deployed non-sensitive materials to all the 21 Local Government Areas in the state.


INEC’s Head of Voter Education in the state, Barr Owette Emmanuel disclosed this during a training exercise organized by an observer group, Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement (YIAGA) for its Watching The Vote (WTV) team and trainers in preparation for the election.

Owete said all political parties contesting the Anambra Governorship polls had been publicly presented with the document containing all the registered voters in the state, and enough transparency had been shown by the commission for the election.

He reiterated the commission’s readiness for the elections, stressing that INEC had simplified the election process by creating Registration Area Centre (RACS) in various wards which were not far from Polling Units.

This according to him, will eliminate the late arrival of election personnel and materials to the polling Units.

During the training, he said that INEC was putting finishing touches to its preparation for the November 18 polls with several voter education programs across communities, using various medium of communication like Radio jingles.

“Enough sensitization has been done on how to vote right. If Voters vote rightly, rejected votes will not be much” he said.
