The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC will thoroughly investigate cases of infraction in the ongoing display of register of voters across the country.
INEC gave the assurance in a statement by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, in Abuja.
Okoye also said that culpable officials would be disciplined.
He recalled that on November 12th, the commission published a preliminary national register of voters in its 8,809 Registration Areas and 774 Local Government Area offices nationwide.
He said that similarly, the entire register had been published on the Commission’s website for the first time in the nation’s electoral history.
He said that the purpose of the display is to enable Nigerians to scrutinise the preliminary register and make claims about misspellings of names, personal details or missing names on the register so that the errors could be corrected.
