The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the sample of the ballot papers to be
used in the presidential election on Saturday.
The commission released pictures
on its Twitter page on Monday.
The commission also ended
collection of permanent voter’s card on Monday after a three-day extension from
it’s initial Friday, February 8 deadline.
INEC lost two of its offices in
Abia and Plateau to fire incidents in the space of a week.
While that of Abia was set ablaze
by aggrieved persons, a drunk security man was said to have caused the fire
outbreak in Plateau.
In a statement, INEC said 2979
PVCs were burnt in Abia while the fire incident in Plateau affected 5987
uncollected PVCs, 380 voting cubicles, 755 ballot boxes, 14 generators,
election forms and official stamps.
It said it has notified the
inspector-general of police about the development and has also directed the
resident electoral commissioner for Plateau to open a register for all those in
the affected area who approach the commission to collect their PVCs within the
specified period.
INEC assured that it would
reprint all the PVCs lost in the fire incident.
