The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has
warned that there shall be no voting for any unaccredited person.
This was stated by the new Resident Electoral Commissioner
in Jigawa State, Prof. Muhammad Lawal Bashar, while briefing newsmen at the
commission’s headquarters in Dutse.
He said the commission will begin the display of voter
registration from 12 to 25 November 2022.
He explained that the exercise will take place at the
registration area(wards) level and at local government INEC offices across
Jigawa State.
According to him: “Under Section 9(6) and 19(1) of the
Electoral Act, 2022, the commission will commence the display of the register
of voters for public scrutiny. Claims and objections at registration areas
start on Saturday 12th to Friday 18th November 2022 while claims and objections
at local governments will start on Saturday 19th to Friday 25 November 2022.”
He said the purpose of the exercise is to give voters the
opportunity to identify their names on the voter register for possible
observations and corrections.
Lawan noted that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System
(BVAS) will reject any voter who has any issue with his name.
“Whenever the BVAS rejects any voter he will not be able to
vote as this time around there is nothing like incident form,” he said.
He advised all eligible voters to visit their wards or local
governments to verify their names and pictures and report back to the
commission for corrections.
