Ahead of the scheduled resumption of CVR exercise nationwide, INEC, FCT held a meeting to assess the operational readiness of the office for a seamless take off of CVR exercise in FCT.
In her remarks, the Admin. Secretary, Mrs. Bimbo Oladunjoye, who represented the REC, said the meeting became necessary to enable INEC, FCT to take a proactive stance to self introspect on the past experiences of the exercise in FCT. She said this will aid the office in identifying past operational challenges- and also spotlight on the opportunities that could be leveraged on for a successful conduct of the exercise in FCT.
Major critical areas identified for the review were; crowd management and control, underage and multiple registrations, security, logistics, difficult terrain, voter migration, PWDs’ participation, voter sensitisation and education among others.
Also in attendance at the meeting were select HoDs, Electoral Officers in six Area Councils and their support staff.
