INEC Postpones Governorship, House Of Assembly Polls

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has postponed the governorship and state assembly elections fixed for March 11 to March 18.

This is due to the inability of the electoral body to commence the reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System, BVAS, machines on time.

It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal had given the Commission the nod to reconfigure the BVAS used for the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly polls in readiness for the state elections.

The Head of Voter Education, Publicity, Gender and Civil Society Organization of INEC in Ondo State, Funke Segun-Osifeso who confirmed the development said: “This is to inform you that the House of Assembly election has been officially postponed until Saturday 18/02/2023.

"Therefore, the distribution exercise slated for tomorrow has been cancelled. I apologize for the inconvenience.”
