What Happens on Election Day? | Useful Tips for First Time Voters
As Nigerians head out to the polls to elect new presidential and national assembly representatives, we have provided some tips that will get you through the process on election day. However, there are official procedures provided by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that are expected to be effectively followed to allow for a free and fair election.
Here are the things to expect on election day:
- The voting exercise starts at 8:30 am, which means you can leave your house as early as possible to start the voting process. Normally, the process is less stressful and direct.
- Once you get to your polling unit, ensure that your name is on the register of voters. The appearance of your name on the register will allow the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), the device that reads PVC, to quickly recognise and accredit your permanent voter’s card.
- Present your permanent voter’s card for accreditation through Bimodal Accreditation System for accreditation and permission to vote. You will be authenticated with the BVAS through fingerprint or facial confirmation.
- Once accredited, you will be given a ballot paper. The ballot paper is where you stamp your vote for the candidate of your choice. Do ensure that you make your vote count by not letting your stamp exceed the vote box. A slight tip outside the box renders your vote void.
- Once you’ve secretly voted for your preferred candidate, head to the ballot box and drop your ballot paper.
- After casting your vote, you may decide to leave the polling unit or, according to INEC, stay 300 meters away from the voting area to witness vote sorting and counting.
This election is expected to be free and fair; ensure that you don’t involve in any form of violence while performing your civic duty. Voting is your right and responsibility that cannot be taken away from you. Stay safe!

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole
my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot
drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83
views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share
it with someone!
Remarkable issues here. I’m very happy to peer your post.
Thank you a lot and I am looking forward to
touch you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?

¿Qué es un juego de tragaperras en línea?
Acerca de casino online .
Han pasado más de dos décadas desde que el primer casino en línea fue reconocido oficialmente como tal
y abrió las puertas del casino virtual. Mucho ha
llovido desde entonces: Nuevos casinos en línea ven la luz de la World Wide
Web casi a diario, las salas de juego en Internet amplían su oferta y
atraen a millones de jugadores con atractivas bonificaciones, tiradas gratuitas y
mucho más. El mercado sigue creciendo y hay buenas razones para
ello. Las ventajas de visitar un casino en línea hablan por
sí solas:
Las tasas de ganancias y de pagos son mucho más altas en un casino en línea que en una casa de juego.
Al buscar un casino en línea, la oferta de bienvenida también desempeña un papel importante, porque
determina con qué bonificaciones o giros gratis se recompensarán sus primeros depósitos.
Este es un tema muy extenso para los jugadores que aún no han tenido la oportunidad de adquirir experiencia en casinos en línea.
Un bono de nuevo cliente por un primer depósito, tiradas
gratis y otras ofertas promocionales no son regalos que
se puedan pagar inmediatamente después de recibirlos.
¡El crédito del bono se separa inicialmente
de la cuenta normal de dinero real! Usted aumenta su saldo de juego,
pero para poder retirar el importe de la bonificación como si fuera dinero real normal,
deben cumplirse unas condiciones. Éstas varían en función de la casa
de juego en línea. Así que preste atención…
It’s going to be finish of mine day, but before finish
I am reading this great piece of writing to improve my know-how.
Amazing! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely
different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
