The group in its initial report on the exercise acknowledged
that INEC has introduced the online process but said that ” it is important to note there
are a large number of voters who are not tech savvy to leverage the
online process.

“INEC and other stakeholders especially political parties should intensify the publicity of the Display, Claims and Objections exercise and also increase voter education on the importance of scrutinising voters’ review of the temporary voters’ register.

“Security agencies should
ensure effective distribution and adequate presence of their personnel in all registration areas to neutralize threats and increase citizens’ confidence, especially in locations where there is a higher likelihood of intimidation and violence.

“Citizens should continue to
engage in the electoral process,
especially by checking their details in the published voters’ register to ensure they can vote in the 2023 elections,” the report said.

Aside the recommendations, Yiaga Africa said it also received
reports of irregularities in the “Preliminary Voter Register published on INEC’s website, and we fear this may impact citizens’ confidence in the
process.

“As confirmed by Yiaga
Africa #WatchingTheVote Citizen
observers, the reports include
duplicates, underage registered voters,and deceased persons on the register.

“This validates our consistent call and that of other CSOs for the comprehensive audit of the voter
register.

“We call on the Commission to,
as a matter of urgent importance,
address some of the concerns that
have been raised, to boost
confidence in the exercise and ensure that legitimately registered voters are not disenfranchised.”

Yiaga Africa then urged citizens to utilize official channels provided in the Electoral Act2022 and INEC ” guidelines to report complaints and objections to irregularities in the voter register.

“On our part, we have
drawn INEC’s attention to these disturbing reports. We will continue to aggregate evidence of these irregularities to ensure INEC responds accordingly by cleaning the voter register.” (vitalnewsngr.com)
