INEC: Edo, Ondo Gov Aspirants to File Nomination Electronically via thisdaylive

•Directs parties to submit membership registers, delegate lists for primariesAs part of preparations for the Edo and Ondo States’ governorship elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission yesterday directed political parties fielding candidates for polls in the two states to submit their aspirants’ nomination forms electronically.

He also warned that any party that operates outside the dates set by the commission will only have itself to blame, stressing that the portal will automatically shut down on the scheduled date and at the fixed hour of the deadline.“Based on experience, it is also important to draw your attention to the necessity for rancour-free primaries. Party primaries form the foundation for the secondary election conducted by the commission.

“Those that opt for indirect primaries should similarly make available to the commission the list of delegates for the election. Doing otherwise will amount to going into an election without the voters’ register. The commission makes available to each political party the complete register of voters before every major election. We expect political parties to reciprocate for their primaries,” the INEC chief said.

“We will also discuss the consequential amendments to our regulations and guidelines in the light of the new policy necessitated by the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said. This, he said, was in addition to the resignation of two senators from Bayelsa State, who had since been sworn in as governor and deputy governor of the state.
