The notice stated that each voter shall vote at the centre where he or she registered, adding that only persons whose names appeared on the voters register and have valid voter’s card were eligible to vote in the election.

The notice was signed by the administrative secretary on behalf of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Emeka Ononamadu.

The state public relations officer, Mr Linus Eze, said the notice became necessary in order to convince candidates doubting the reality of the election dates that “the commission is committed to keeping to the time-table so that nobody will deny knowledge of the notice.”
