INEC to create 1,144 additional polling units in Benue

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Commissioner in charge of Benue State, Alhaji Abba Yusuf, has said the commission will create additional 1,144 polling units in the state.

This, according to Yusuf, when added to the already existing 3,688, would bring the number of polling units to 4,832 across the 23 local government areas of the state.
Yusuf, who stated this while on a courtesy visit to the paramount ruler of the Tiv nation, the Tor Tiv, Chief Alfred Akawe Torkula, said the essence of creating the polling units was to decongest polling units in the state.
Responding, the paramount ruler pledged to involve the royal fathers to sensitize the electorate in their domains on the need for peaceful disposition before, during and after the elections.
