What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Accra, Oct. 6, GNA – The Electoral Commission (EC) has stated that it has not yet decided on the proposal for an offline exhibition of the Provisional Voters’ Register at polling stations nationwide.

After last week’s Inter-Party Advisory Committee Meeting in Accra, the EC announced its intention to exhibit the corrected Provisional Voters’ Register online as part of efforts to update the register in preparation for the December 7 elections.

There has since been calls on the Commission to consider an offline exhibition of the Register to allow for voters in rural communities and those who do not have access to the internet to participate in the exercise.

However, speaking at a session to train journalists on the electoral processes in Accra, Mr Benjamin Bano-Bioh, Director of Electoral Services, EC, said the offline registration of voters “was on the drawing board” and that the management of the Commission had not concluded on the matter.

“There has been a call on the Commission to extend the exhibition of the corrected voters’ register to the various registration centres. The Commission would have to take that decision. So, we wait and hear from management,” he said.
