An election monitoring group, Yiaga Africa has placed the number of registered voters with permanent voter cards to participate in the November 11 gubernatorial elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states at 5,169,962.
The group noted that these are the first elections after Nigeria 's contentious and controversial 2023 general elections , stressing that the commitment of key democratic institutions such as the Independent National Electoral Commission , security agencies and the executive to restore public confidence in the electoral process will be tested in Saturday's polls.
'In October, the commission conducted a successful mock accreditation in the three states to test the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System and INEC Results Viewing Portal ; however, the turnout for the exercise was abysmally poor, as noted in Yiaga Africa’s observation report on the mock accreditation. 'In some instances, voters requested cash incentives as a condition for participating in the exercise.
