The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says a total of 498,390 registered voters are expected to cast their ballots for the Aba North/South Federal Constituency bye-election in Abia State, scheduled for Saturday 27 March 2021.

INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee (IVEC), Festus Okoye, said this on Wednesday in Abuja at the end of the management meeting of the commission.

According to him, the election would hold at 609 polling units spread across 24 Registration Areas (RAs) in the two local government areas of the Constituency.

He also said that the commission will deploy over 2,970 officials for the election.

“All the non-sensitive materials required for the conduct of the election at the two LGAs of the constituency have been delivered and batched according to the Registration Areas.

“All the ad-hoc staff required for the conduct of the election have been trained and are awaiting deployment.

“All the sensitive materials have been delivered to the Central Bank in Umuahia, Abia State and will be inspected on Thursday, March 25, 2021, and dispatched to the two local government area offices of the commission,” Okoye said.

He urged all the registered voters in the constituency to come out en masse to exercise their franchise as representation is at the heart of democracy and huge voter turnout enforces and reinforces the mandate given to elected representatives.

Okoye enjoins all the voters and stakeholders to remain calm, shun violence and other acts capable of creating fear, anxiety and apprehension in the electoral environment.

He said: “Violent and unwholesome acts undermine the sovereign rights of the people to clean elections and deprives the constituency of quality representation.

“The commission is committed to the safety and welfare of its election duty staff and the voters and will strengthen its collaboration with the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security in this regard.”
