The Independent National Electoral Commission has mandated accredited organisations to upload personal details and photographs of their field observers via its portal in preparation for the 2024 Edo and Ondo State Governorship elections.
This was made known in a post signed by its Chairman, information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun via INEC’s official X handle on Monday.
INEC revealed that a total of 153 applications were received from interested organisations after which 134 groups (124 domestic and 10 international) that met the requirements for accreditation were selected.
The commission added that it will be organizing a one-day training for representatives of observer groups on Wednesday at the Commission’s Conference Room in Abuja.
The statement reads in part, “The next step is for the accredited organisations to upload the personal details and photographs of their field observers to our dedicated portal established for that purpose.
“To this end, the Commission is organizing a one-day training for representatives of observer groups on Wednesday 17th July 2024 at the Commission’s Conference Room in Abuja at 10am.
“Access Code to the portal and letters of accreditation will be given to representatives of the accredited organisations at the training venue”.
