INEC ready for Feb. 3 Cross River rerun election

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it is ready for the conduct of the Feb. 3 rerun election in Cross River.

The state’s INEC Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs. Anthonia Nwobi, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Calabar.

Nwobi said that the rerun would be held in 34 polling units across Akamkpa/Biase Federal Constituency, Obanliku and Yala two State Constituencies.

“Only voters with Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) who are registered in the affected polling units are qualified to vote in the election.

“While the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) would be deployed for the election, activities will commence by 8.30 a.m. and end by 2.30 p.m.

“However, those on the queue on or before 2.30 p.m. will all be attended to by our officials,” she said.

She called on voters in the affected areas to come out in masse to vote for candidates of their choice at the election.
