2023 Polls: INEC Meets Political Parties, Proposes Creation Of More Polling Units
A section of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in Abuja was gutted by fire on April 17, 2020.
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, on Friday met with the chairmen and secretaries of political parties in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
While the electoral body proposes the creation of more polling units, Professor Yakubu said that the last time polling units where created was 25 years ago.
According to the INEC Chairman, the meeting which held at the INEC headquarters is the first engagement with party leaders aimed at enhancing voters’ access to polling units.
The INEC boss explained that efforts to have more units created in 2007, 2011 and 2017 were misunderstood.
He stated that the number of voters have grown, thus making it imperative for the commission to create more polling units.
On his part, the chairman of Inter-Party Advisory Council who responded on behalf of the parties commended INEC for the proposal.
He however wished that the process had commenced earlier than now.
