Election Officials

Election officials are permanent or ad-hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who handle the conduct and supervision of elections. There are also other persons or organisations involved in the conduct of elections, namely, polling or party agents, the security agents, representatives of the media, observer groups and the voters.

Election officials have a major role in the electoral process. The manners in which they discharge their duties affect the degree of confidence voters have in the electoral process and in INEC. All the actions of election officials should be characterised by the highest standards of integrity, impartiality, transparency, professionalism, gender sensitivity and support for the elderly and those who are physically challenged.

Below are brief descriptions of their duties;

There were feelers on Wednesday that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may shift the February 25 presidential election by a minimum of two weeks due to logistics issues.

Key among these challenges is the incessant burning of INEC offices across the country and the insecurity challenges in the South-East and North- East.

A senior official of the Commission informed DAILY INDEPENDENT that while the electoral body is determined to stick with the scheduled date, recent developments in the country may force it to announce an extension.

The Commission is doing all it can to stick to the announced dates but given the numerous challenges being witnessed across the country, such as the burning of our offices, insecurity challenges and attack on INEC officials, lingering fuel scarcity coupled with problems arising from the Naira redesign, I won’t be surprised if the election is postponed by two weeks minimum.

When contacted, the Commissioner for information and voter education of INEC, Festus Okoye denied any plans of extension saying the dates fixed for the conduct of the elections remain firm.

“The dates fixed by the Commission for the conduct of the 2023 general election are fixed and firm,” he said.

Also affirming Okoye’s position, Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman said there are no plans to shift the elections.

“Not at all. The Commission is not even contemplating shifting the 2023 General election”.
