Verify the authenticity of your polling station: Before heading to your polling station, double-check that it is the correct one to cast your vote. You can confirm this information by checking on a dedicated portal on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) website before election day.
Go with your Permanent Voters Card: All polling stations require a valid Permanent Voters Card to verify your identity, so make sure to go with yours if you are eligible to vote.
Don’t share your personal information with anyone: Be careful not to share your personal information, such as your voter registration number, with anyone outside the polling station.
Keep your ballot private: Once you receive your ballot, enter the cubicle provided by INEC and keep it confidential. Also, avoid discussing your vote with anyone in the polling station.
Report any suspicious activity at the polling station: If you notice anything unusual or suspicious, such as people attempting to interfere with the voting process or distributing false information, immediately report it to the appropriate authorities. Citizens can reach INEC on their hotline: 0700-CALL-INEC (0700-2255-4632)
Be patient: Polling stations may become crowded on election day, so be patient and respectful of other voters and also adhere to the information given by electoral officers.
