The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that it is ready to conduct the February 3 rerun election in Cross River State.
The state’s INEC Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Anthonia Nwobi, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Calabar.
Mrs Nwobi said that the rerun would be held in 34 polling units across Akamkpa/Biase Federal Constituency, Obanliku, and Yala II State Constituency.
“Only voters with Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) and are registered in the affected polling units are qualified to vote in the election.
“While the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) would be deployed for the election, activities will commence by 8.30 a.m. and end by 2.30 p.m.
“However, those in the queue on or before 2.30 p.m., will all be attended to by our officials,” she said.
She called on voters in the affected areas to come out in mass to vote for candidates of their choice at the election.
