All is now set for the physical voters' registration exercise in Adamawa State by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as preparation is in top gear towards the physical contact continuous voters registration which will commence in July 2021. The Head of Voter Education and Publicity Department of the Commission in Adamawa State, Mrs Rifkatu Maxwell Dukku made this known to our correspondent in an interview in Yola over the weekend. She said, the electoral body started the online voter's registration on Monday the twenty-eight of June but noted that the exercise is not for everybody as it is a continuation of the voter's registration for the 2019 general election. Mrs Rifkatu Maxwell pointed out that prospective voters can log in to the website of INEC to register, stressing that "the categories of people that will be registered by the commission are those who clocked eighteen years, those that had a problem with their cards during the last election.” According to her, "Other categories are those whose card is mutilated, damaged or broken, people seeking for more information, replacement, new registration or change of names.” She added that after the pre-online registration an appointment date will be given for the physical contact which fingerprint and physical picture of the prospective registrants will be required. "We will educate our electoral officers of the twenty local government areas on things required of them during the online continuous voter's registration.” She assured the people at the grassroots that they will be attended to but noted that INEC staff might not be in all the centres at the same time because of the security challenges been faced now in the country. She reiterates the commission’s commitment to attending to everyone pointing out that the registration will last throughout next year until six months of the 2023 elections.
