The EC Chair called on all eligible voters to turn up as the commission expects a 100 per cent participation.
“As a commission we expect a near 100 per cent turn out and we are confident that the outcomes will be peaceful, credible, orderly, seamless and transparent God being our helper”.
She also mentioned that special voters list has been published on the Electoral Commission's website for verification in addition to the alternative use of a shortcode *711*2020# on all mobile phones.
