Disappointment over the actions of some Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) personnel, whom they accused of failing in the fulfillment of their duties, was voiced by attendees at the civil society South-East stakeholders’ conference on the 2023 general elections in Enugu State.

Speaking at the Forum, the participants claimed that many eligible voters were unable to receive their cards despite many trips to the facilities at different PVC distribution centers spread around the South East region.

However, they urged the management of the regional electoral authority to make use of the distribution exercise’s one-week extension to make sure that no voter was denied their right to vote.
