Nigeria’s Electoral Body has commenced the conversion of voting points across the country to Polling Units.
According to the head of the Electoral Body Professor Mahmud Yakubu, this is to enable eligible voters to have access to polling units during the elections and thereby disaggregating Voting points that were initially overcrowded.
Professor Yakubu while visiting voting points in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Abuja and neigbouring Northwest state of Narsarawa, says that voters will now have access to polling units near their homes and will not need to walk long distances to exercise their franchise.
He adds that the process is ongoing simultaneously across the country.
