The Electoral Commission (EC) has reversed its earlier directive restricting media access to constituency and regional collation centres.
This means all media houses will allow media personnel greater access during the electoral process.
In a statement issued on Monday, December 2, the EC announced that after internal discussions and consultations with key media stakeholders, media professionals with photo accreditation to cover polling stations will now be permitted to use the same accreditation to access constituency and regional collation centres.
“From Saturday, 7th December 2024, media persons can access Constituency and Regional Collation Centres using their photo accreditation cards issued by the EC,” the statement read.
The EC reiterated its commitment to transparency and accountability, emphasizing that the revised accreditation system is designed to ensure greater access and flexibility for media professionals during the elections. The decision has been welcomed by media practitioners as a significant step toward fostering openness in the electoral process.
