PDP Rejects 8,000 Polling Booths Allocated To South-east by fkaz(m): 10:17am On Aug 25, 2014 |
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Southeast zone has rejected the 8,000 polling booths allocated to the entire south by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2014/08/25/pdp-rejects-8000-polling-booths-allocated-to-south-east/ |

Sealeddeal: the whole of North has 21,000 or just the North west? If its the whole of North,then its not a bad thing if SE has 8,000. Yea if the whole of the north has 21,000, then it is not a big deal and i will advise that Metuh be ignored, but if it is only the northwest, or only northeast or only North central that has that number then it is a shame on INEC and need to be addressed. But from what Metuh said in paragraph 3 line 2 then i will have to say that the problem of Nigeria is our politicians and we need to get rid of them asap. Shalom |

The population and land mass of the North far exceeds that of the SE, what is he screaming for? Common sense dictates that a higher number of voters requires a higher number of polling units, otherwise there would be congestion and consequent disenfranchisement of voters. |

EasternLeopard: Population is the basis upon which PU's were distributed, considering the amended Electoral act prescribes a maximum of 500 voters per PU. For example, Kano State with 4,751,818 registered voters has 9,809, and Bayelsa State with 590,679 registered voters has 1925 PU's allocated to it. 3 Likes |

EasternLeopard: Did you do English in school? The issue being discussed is registered voters, which will always reflect population, and not population in itself. Yes, random sampling on a state to state basis shows that Kaduna is 2.5 times the size of Abia's in terms of voter registration. |

8000 is too small for the whole of south. We have more population here, including that of registered voters |

What does the field title "proportional distribution based on 150,000" mean? Is a better measure not mean voters/per PU? Why is there an attempt to give each state the same number of PUs? Shouldn't PU simply be based on number of voters? |

The allocation was made based solely on the voting population of the various geopolitical components of Nigeria. Stop making an issue out of what is not! The world needs less politicians. |

The SE has the least numbers of registered voters in Nigeria, so it's not bad if the SE has 8000 additional PUs while the whole North has 21000. But then, I think the topic is misleading. |

On the continuous voters registration, a polling centre in Anambra had over 400 names written in exercise book as at day two waiting for INEC officials to be registered. As at today the last day of the exercise, no registration took place at that zone. You expect these people to go to other zones outside their residential to obtain voters card then on election day with restricted movement, what becomes of them? These are some of the people who obtained their temporary voters card at that zone and now their permanent card wasn't printed. People are being disenfranchised already by this registration. |
