The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ekiti State, Bunmi Omoseyindemi, has confirmed that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, will begin the distribution of sensitive materials to local government areas in that state.
The materials which include ballot papers, Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines and voter registers, among other election components required for the conduct of the poll, will be distributed this Thursday.
Omoseyindemi reiterated the commission’s readiness for the exercise, insisting that all necessary arrangements have been concluded.
The Ekiti governorship election is scheduled to hold on the 20th of June, and Ekiti voters are expected to elect a governor from among candidates fielded by 13 political parties contesting the election across the state’s 16 local government areas, 177 wards and over 2,000 polling units.
