The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says it is 95 per cent ready for the successful conduct of the July 16 Osun 2022 Governorship Election.
Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Professor Abdulganiy Raji stated this during a workshop on Election coverage for information officers being organized by the Osun State ministry of information and Civic Orientation.
Represented by the Head of Department, Election and Party Monitoring, Mr Shehu Mohammad, the REC said the only thing that was left in its preparation was the arrival of sensitive voting materials.
Professor Raji urged the electorate, who are yet to collect their voter card, to proceed to INEC offices in their local government for collection as this cannot be done by proxy
He explained that for credible Election, the Bimodal voter’s Accreditation System (BVAS) would be used alongside a manual result sheet to checkmate sharp practices.
Professor Raji while noting that voter education was ongoing as well as collaboration with stakeholders, said accreditation and voting would be between 8 am and 2.30 pm.
While recounting his experience while monitoring an election in Germany, he urged citizens to be patriotic and do things according to laid down rules, so as to build trust in one another.
