The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Cross River State, says it has trained at least 1,914 ad hoc staff for the February 26, 2022, bye-elections in the state.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Cyril Omoregbe; and the Administrative Secretary, Irene Oghuma.
The statement noted that the Biometrics Voters Authentication System, BVAS, will be used for accreditation.
It, however, added that new registrants who enrolled from when the Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, commenced in June 2021 to date cannot vote in this election.
