 The Independent National Electric Commission, INEC, has said that elections will not be holding in about 240 polling units across 28 states of the Federation during the February 25 and March 11 general elections. The polling units where elections will not hold are in Edo, Quarra, Rivers and Zafara states to 38 in Emu states, which has the highest. INEC Chairman Professor Mamoji Akubo disclosed these at a regular consultative meeting with leaders of the 18 registered political parties ahead of the elections, said the affected polling units has no registered voters. He said with the exclusion of the 240 polling units, elections will take place in about 176, 666 polling units across the country. At previous meetings, we also briefed you on our efforts to redistribute voters to the polling units in order to avoid the congestion that made voting cumbersome in many of them nationwide. This requires the redistribution of voters to new polling units in approximate locations. While they are separated by distance, this must be done after consultation with the voters. This has been done by our state offices nationwide. However, there are 240 polling units without registered voters spread across 28 states and the federal capital territory. They range from one polling unit to 12 polling units in each state and the FCT, except Taraba and Himo states with 34 and 38 polling units respectively. No new registrants choose the polling units and no voters indicated interest to transfer to them during the last continuous voter registration exercise, mainly for security reasons. This means that no elections will be held in these polling units. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
