8:43Now PlayingThe Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the proposed introduction of additional 30,000 polling units in Nigeria was as a result of the clamour by registrars for polling units to be sited closer to their settlements.
In a telephone interview on Monday, the Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, said that the increase in the number of polling units would also ensure that accreditation and voting take place much quicker than it used to be.
"We concluded that we need to increase this in such a way that not more than about 500 people should be in each polling unit. The process is only being reviewed in order to capture a lot of people who have not been captured in some of the states where the INEC had held the registration exercise," he said.
In a draft for the planned increase in polling units, the INEC said the distribution would be made based on 85 per cent proportionality and 15 per cent equality.
