A little over 114,000 voters are expected to cast their ballot during the special voting on December 1; and not 65,000 as announced earlier.<\/p>\n
According to the Deputy Director of Communications of the Electoral Commission (EC), Yussif Ayuba, the earlier list and figure put out by the Commission was not the final list.<\/p>\n
He has explained that, the Commission has now finalised the recruitment process for its officials, who will be working on the Election Day, and they have been added to the list.<\/p>\n
“When we gave out the figure initially, we did’nt capture all the central staff who we have recruited to undertake election work during the election day; and we were able to finish entering most of their details. Currently, we have 114,813 officials going to vote in the special voting come December 1,<\/span>” he said.<\/p>\n
