The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday listed 240 Polling Units across the country with no registered voters.
INEC said voting will not take place on 25th February (Presidential/National Assembly Election) and 11th March 2023 (Governorship/State House of Assembly Election) in the polling units. INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu made this known in a meeting with political party leaders.
“However, there are 240 polling units without registered voters spread across 28 States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). They range from one polling unit to 12 polling units in each State and the FCT, except Taraba & Imo States with 34 and 38 polling units respectively.
No new registrants chose the polling units and no voters indicated interest to transfer to them during the last Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), mainly for security reasons. This means that no elections will hold in these polling units.
In our avowed commitment to transparency, the Commission is making available to Nigerians a comprehensive list of these polling units by name, code number and their locations by State, Local Government and Registration Area.” Prof Yakubu said.
With this development, the number of polling units where elections will hold nationwide on 25th February 2023 and 11th March 2023 is now 176,606.” He added.
Below is the list:
