He said that the preliminary voter’s register would be displayed at its headquarters and offices across the 20 local government areas in the state.

“INEC wishes to inform the general public that the display exercise for claims and objections will commence from Friday, September 24 to Thursday, September 30, 2021,″ he said.

According to him, the exercise will enable the registrants to inspect and ensure that are no mistakes, omission or addition in their names

This, he said, would enable them to make claims for the necessary corrections.

He said that the registrants may also observe other anomalies like registering of foreign nationals, underaged children, or inclusion of the names of deceased persons in the register.
