Ayanda disclosed that there are 1872 polling units and 1,014 voting units while there are 1192 election officers who will participate in the election.

“Over 3000 people did multiple registrations and their names were removed from the voters register. So, if INEC officials can’t find your name on voter register on election day, you may be one of those who did multiple registrations,” Ayanda said.

Meanwhile, the INEC Administrative Secretary in the state, Mr Martins Boris Chiroma said that a total of 82 women were contesting for various elective posts in Kwara.
