INEC Press Statement
The commission met today, Tuesday, November 11th, 2014,
And reviewed reports sent in from states by Resident
Electoral Commissioners (RECS) on reconfiguration of the polling unit structure
and creation of additional polling units.
Taking everthing into consideration-especially the
controversy over creation of additional polling units that has been overheating
the polity, and the apparent inadequacy of time for the exercise- the
commission took a decision to suspend the exercise until after the 2015 general
elections.
The commission, nevertheless:
1. will Continue with the use of Voting point, where
necessary, to mitigate population pressure in overcrowded polling units during
the forthcoming elections.
2. Relocate polling units from unsuitable locations; and
3. As much as possible ensure that polling units are located
in enclosures such classrooms, rather than in open spaces.
