INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, announced at a meeting with political parties in Abuja on Monday that there are no registered voters in the polling units and the total number of polling units in Nigeria is 176,606.
According to INEC, voters assigned to new polling units will receive text messages to inform them of their new polling units before the February 25 and March 11, 2023 general elections.
Yakubu further added that voters can confirm their polling units by sending a text or WhatsApp message to a dedicated telephone number that will be uploaded on INEC’s social media platforms.
The commission previously presented a register containing 93,469,008 voters for the 2023 general elections and is not considering any postponement of the election date.
The announcement comes amidst concerns regarding Nigeria’s election infrastructure, with many critics questioning the commission’s ability to conduct free and fair elections.
However, Yakubu has emphasized that the commission is committed to ensuring a credible electoral process, stating that the use of technology will enable the commission to conduct a transparent and efficient election.
