Supplementary election inec distributes sensitive materials in benue

A timely and important update!

According to reports, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has distributed sensitive materials for the supplementary election in Benue State. This development comes ahead of the rescheduled poll, which is aimed at filling the remaining 30 vacant seats in the state's House of Assembly.

The distribution of sensitive materials, including ballot papers, result sheets, and voting cubicles, is a crucial step in the electoral process. It ensures that all necessary materials are in place to facilitate a smooth and credible voting exercise.

The supplementary election is scheduled to hold on Saturday, March 27, 2021, in 30 constituencies across Benue State. The poll was necessitated by the inconclusive outcome of the March 9, 2020, election, which was declared inconclusive due to low voter turnout in some areas.

INEC's decision to distribute sensitive materials in Benue State is a significant step towards ensuring the success of the supplementary election. The commission has assured Nigerians that it is committed to conducting a free, fair, and credible election, and this development is a testament to that commitment.

It is essential for all stakeholders, including voters, political parties, and election observers, to ensure that the supplementary election is conducted peacefully and in accordance with the electoral law.
