The Independent National Electoral Commission said on Tuesday that it would migrate some voters from congested polling units in Ekiti State to make voting seamless during the 2023 general election.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Ekiti State, Prof. Ayobami Salami, said the move was “to make voting process in 2023 general elections devoid of rigours and stress for voters and as well enhance security”.
Salami, who spoke in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, during a stakeholders’ meeting, called on political parties and other stakeholders in the state to educate the electorate on the new development, which he said would enhance the effective electoral system.
He said, “The commission is planning to migrate some voters who fall within the densely populated polling units to decongest such polling units and give room for the sparsely populated ones that are within the same cluster or location to be populated.”
