It also drew the attention of political parties to Section 32(3) of the Electoral Act 2022, which provides that failure to notify the Commission "shall not be ground to invalidate the election" adding that the final list is published in their State and Local Government offices in Ekiti State as well as their website and social media platforms for public information as required by law.

The statement further enjoined political parties to note the provisions of the law and comply with them.
