Reports from security experts, civil society organizations, and residents warned that
Growing larger attacks on government facilities, especially offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the South East by criminal elements might affect the ability of the over 10 million registered voters in the zone to fully participate in the upcoming 2023 election.
The Statistics revealed by INEC have shown that the southeast region has 10,907,606 registered voters, but almost a million permanent voters cards (PVCs) are yet to be collected in the region according to the data analyzed.
The resident in the southeast region believes that insecurity will pose the greatest threat to the conduct of the 2023 general elections in the zone and also affect the ongoing collection of voters cards in the region
