How You Can Confirm Your Polling Unit Location via SMS: Simple Steps To Take

 

 

 

Nigerians can now confirm the location of their polling units through SMS, ahead of the forthcoming general election.

 

 

In a statement on Friday, Mahmood Yakubu, chairperson of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), said the commission has introduced technological innovations to make voting more credible and result management more transparent.

 

He said the commission noticed that during the mock accreditation exercise, some voters turned up at the wrong polling units.

 

Yakubu said other voters may be in the same situation, adding that a reoccurrence must be avoided on election day.
