“You are in control once every four years.Your vote is your birthright. Remember you are not too small to make a difference.” - Genevieve Nnaji, MFR (Nigerian Actress) 

#AnambraDecides

Ndi Anambra!As the race for the next governor tightens, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) registration data cleanup process has revealed that of the 2,525,471 registered voters in the state, 62,698 persons registered twice!

Judging by these vote margins, illegal registrations/votes can invalidate the electoral process. Whether done in error or by mischief-makers, these registrations have been nullified.The countdown continues!

Victory for #OfficeOfTheCitizen

Owing to intense pressure from the citizenry—

online and offline, the Senate has reconsidered its stance on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill and fully empowered INEC to determine the best mode to transmit election results—either electronically or manually.Active citizens! You made this happen. Tuale!Your voice made the difference! Let’s keep the tempo up to deepen our democratic experience and ensure transparency in our electoral processes.

Enjoy the rest of your week!The EiE Nigeria Team
