Making a presentation on preparations for the Anambra governorship election, the Head, Department Electoral Operations, INEC, Mr Innocent Ekwulor, said that the Commission is fully ready to achieve free, fair and transparent election, adding that voting would take place in five-thousand-seven-hundred and twenty polling units across the state.

For the Head of Unit, Civil Society Organization and Person's Living with Disability, Mrs Chinyere Okoye, voter education is key to helping the electorate know their rights and responsibilities. 


Members of the clergy who participated in the session, including Reverend Ekene Nnadi and Sister Chikodili Nwokeke said that the sensitization will go a long way in educating the citizenry and suggested that INEC equally work on the observations raised at the program to ensure that they become actionable.
