The Independent National Electoral Commission says it will begin continuous voter registration exercise in Anambra state from June twenty eight, 2021.
The State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Nkwachukwu Orji, announced this during Stakeholders Forum on Expansion of Voter Access to Polling Units organized by the Commission in Awka.
According to Dr. Orji, the forum became necessary in order to improve quality of electoral processes, adding that some existing Polling Units in the state make it difficult for people to exercise their democratic rights.
Speaking at the event, Governor Obiano represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, thanked the Commission for the worthy objectives of organizing the forum, and expressed hope that the outcome will help in achieving improved voting exercise in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
