February 14, (THEWILL) – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has published 240Â polling units across the country with no registered voters.
The Commission, on Monday, in Abuja, disclosed at a meeting with leaders of political parties that the polling units have no registered voters.
Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said the 240 polling units spread across 28 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“240 polling units without registered voters spread across 28 States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). They range from one polling unit to 12 polling units in each state and the FCT, except Taraba and Imo states with 34 and 38 polling units respectively.
“No new registrants chose the polling units and no voters indicated interest to transfer to them during the last Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), mainly for security reasons. This means that no elections will hold in these polling units.
“With this development, the number of polling units where elections will hold nationwide on 25th February 2023 and 11th March 2023 is now 176,606. Hard copies of the list are included in your folders for this meeting”, Yakubu said.
