INEC allots voters to less congested polling units  

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said in exercise of its powers under Section 40(2) of the Electoral Act, 2022, it has allotted voters from overcrowded polling units to less congested polling units within the same location.

According to the Commission, this was to promote a more pleasant and stress-free voting experience on election day.

In a statement on Sunday, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr Rotimi Oyekanmi, urged the electorate to “visit the INEC’s Voter Verification System on: www.cvr.inecnigeria.org/vvs or voters.inecnigeria.org to check your on the register of voters and confirm the location of your polling unit where you will vote on election day.

“Furthermore, the list of registered voters in the 176,846 polling units nationwide will be on display at each polling unit prior to the election day. 

“Eligible voters are encouraged to visit their polling units to check for their name on the register and confirm location of their polling unit where they will vote on election day.”
