INEC Begins Distribution of Election Materials in Ondo State.

On Saturday morning, officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) commenced the distribution of election materials at the Anglican Primary School Registration Area Centre in Irele Local Government Area, Ondo State. This crucial exercise involved Polling Unit Officers and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members collecting essential materials for transport to various polling units across the region.

To ensure the safety of both the officials and the materials, the distribution was accompanied by a contingent of police officers. As early-rising voters began to check their names on the voter’s list, local vendors took advantage of the bustling atmosphere by selling rice, water, and beverages to officials, security personnel, and voters awaiting the start of the electoral process.

Security personnel present at the venue provided assurances to voters regarding their safety throughout the exercise. As the day progresses, the focus remains on Ondo State, where citizens prepare to cast their votes in the gubernatorial election.

An INEC official emphasized the importance of timely material distribution, stating, “We started the distribution of materials on time and our polling unit officers left early. Hopefully, the election can start as scheduled. No room for delay.” This commitment to punctuality underscores INEC’s dedication to ensuring a smooth and efficient electoral process for the people of Ondo State.
