The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the extension of voting time for the Presidential and National Assembly elections to Sunday, 26th February 2023.
According to INEC, this was due to the high level violence experienced and ‘tactical disenfranchisement’ (late arrival of election materials) in some areas.
The commission has therefore advised its staff and stakeholders on the need to continue to adhere to all Government/INEC directives and security advisories concerning this election.
