PUBLIC NOTICE:
We have received a number of complaints from the public regarding agents for some Candidates, who are handing out forms to voters eligible to pre-poll with the intention to use this opportunity to induce those voters to vote for the particular candidate, these agents represent.
The OEC sees this as a real threat to the integrity of the Pre-Polling process and has decided to suspend accepting anymore Pre-Polling Forms starting today, Wednesday 17th February 2021.
The Office will create another “OFFICIAL PRE-POLLING FORM” which the staff of OEC will distribute to the eligible voters around the country, starting Monday 22nd February 2021.
This will ensure that voters eligible to pre-poll and their rights to choose who to vote for are not compromised.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We will post on this forum our team’s distribution schedule before the end of this week.
Ma le ava tele,
Electoral Commission
