Ekiti – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has cautioned corps members to be deployed as adhoc staff in the forthcoming June 18 Ekiti State governorship election against corrupt and unethical practices.

Dr. Adeniran Tella, INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ekiti state gave the advice at the sensitisation programme for Corps members at NYSC Orientation Camp in the state.

Tella, who was represented by the INEC Administrative Secretary in Ekiti State, Mrs Feyi Saseyi, urged corps members, to be deployed as Presiding Officers (POs) and Assistant Presiding Officers (APOs) to treat all voters equally and with respect.

“Remember to treat all voters equally and with respect. Also remember that unethical and corrupt practices by election officials attract severe punishment under the law,” Tella said.

According to him, because corps members are usually deployed as Presiding Officer (PO) and Assistant Presiding Officer 1(APO1) in elections, there is a need to prepare them ahead of the three days training to intimate them with the new technology Bimodal Voter Authentication system (BVAS) and other requirements in the election process.

He said that both INEC and NYSC had invested in comprehensive training of corps members to adequately prepare them for the task ahead.

“In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Polling Unit layout has been redesigned by the commission to ensure substantial compliance with the protocols established by health authorities.

According to him, there will be a two-tier queuing system at the polling unit-one outside and the other in the voting area.

“In order to accommodate additional activities in setting up the polling unit due to COVID-19, polls shall now commence at 8:30 am and close at 2:30 pm.
