 And now to Kaduna state where election observers, legal awareness for Nigerian women and Christian aid have raised concerns of the marginalization of the visually impaired persons PWDs by the Independence National Electoral Commission during the just concluded elections as monitored in the state. Speaking at the presentation of observation report in Kaduna, the acting executive director of the LAWN Hanatu Ahuan said trained observers were deployed into 86 polling units across all the world in Java, Gemma, Kauru and Zangon, Qatar, local government areas to observe the governorship and state house of assembly elections. They said that despite INEX assurance and provision of these ability-inclusive voting materials to ensure persons with disabilities vote, there was no means of communication, braille, large emboled sprint, electronic devices and sign language interpretation which disenfranchised their PWDs in some polling units. Visually impaired were marginalized. There was no provision of suitable means of communication, such as braille, large emboled sprint, electronic devices, sign language interpretation or off-site voting in appropriate cases for the visually impaired and incapacitated voters at the various polling units as stipulated in the Electoral Act. In most cases, the visually impaired or persons with any form of disability were given priority by other voters and allowed to be accompanied by someone to help them identify symbols or help in voting while in some polling units they were assisted by political party agents of their choice, after informing the presiding officer which ought not to be so. The observers commended the electoral umpire for the conduct of the state elections compared to that of the presidential and national assembly. We call on INEX to consider the following recommendations, conducting all the elections in one day as against the current practice. This is cost-effective, will reduce the untold hardship endured by voters during elections and also address the issue of low voter turnout for the Gobernatorial and State House of Assembly elections. To reduce the high number of invalid votes recorded in both elections, INEX, under government agencies responsible for voter education and the civil society, need to improve on the sensitization drive towards educating the citizens on how to vote right.
