The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it will not create new polling units in the expansion of access to Polling Units exercise.
The Head, Voter Education, and Publicity, INEC, Mark Usulor, in a statement for the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Rivers State, said the exercise in the state was not targetted at creating new polling units ahead of the 2021 polls.
He noted that staff of the Commission were being deployed to the field to identify the locations of Polling Units (PUs) that already have voting points (VPs) with a view to converting such voting points to stand-alone PUs, based on the template approved by the Commission
