The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Osun State has taken measures to enhance voter security ahead of the upcoming elections. Victoria Eta-Messi, Director of Voter Education and Publicity at INEC, disclosed that the commission, in collaboration with security agencies, is mapping potential flashpoints and deploying additional security personnel to vulnerable areas.
Eta-Messi warned against vote trading and emphasized that stolen PVCs cannot be used for casting votes, as the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) requires biometric details for voter authentication. The commission is also working closely with the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) and other security agencies to ensure a safe voting environment for citizens.
