Get Guardian on GoogleThe Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed plans to review its adopted technologies for elections to improve conduct of elections.
INEC Director of Voter Education and Publicity Department, Nick Dazang, disclosed this at a workshop on the ‘Review of National Voter Education Manual’ in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
