2023: INEC begins preliminary display of voters’ register in Cross River
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun the display of a preliminary voters’ register in Cross River, following the just-suspended Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
INEC displayed the new register at its office in Calabar and area offices across the 18 local government areas.
Tonia Nwobi, INEC’s spokesperson in Cross River, said the display would end on August 22.
“The public is to scrutinise the register with a view to making claims on or raise objections against the inclusion of registrants,” she said.
The register showed the names and particulars of candidates and their political parties as part of the preparation for the 2023 general elections.
For the 25 vacant seats in the Cross River State House of Assembly, 187 candidates from 12 political parties are contesting to fill the seats.
Eleven political parties fielded 69 and 28 candidates for eight House of Representatives seats and three senatorial seats, respectively.
