Youths Top Voting Population For February Polls – INEC by Anambra1stS0n: 8:08pm On Jan 07, 2023
The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that youths constitute the highest number of registered voters who will cast votes in the 2023 general election.

The National Commissioner of INEC in charge of Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye, stated this in Awka, on Saturday, during the Commission’s engagement with identified groups on the roles of the youth ahead of the 2023 general election.
Okoye said from the electoral umpire’s records, the youth hold the ace for the determination of the outcome of the 2023 elections.

He said out of a total of 9,518,756 valid newly registered voters between June 28, 2021, and July 31, 2022, those aged between 18 and 34 years old were 7,286,871 representing 76.56 per cent.

Disclosing further that the total of registered voters for the 2023 general election is 93.5 million, Okoye said that of the 84 million registered voters recorded for the 2019 general election, the youth population which included males and females was 51 per cent.

He, however, urged the youths to ensure that they cast their votes on election day, emphasising that it is only when they cast their votes that they can determine who emerged as leaders.

He explained that the 2023 electoral processes would be strictly technology-driven, adding that the Commission had already deployed technology in all its processes.
He said, “The Commission had already taken delivery of the full number of the Bimodal Voter’s Accreditation System, for the conduct of the election in the 176,846 polling units across the federation. Additional BVAS for contingencies would be deployed to the 8,809 registration areas across the country.

“The BVAS were designed to function offline, and, that only accredited voters would be allowed to cast votes on the day of the polls.

“Only registered voters who present their Permanent Voters Cards, at the polling unit would be accredited to vote.

“Over 1.4 million ad-hoc election staff had been engaged by the Commission for the conduct of the 2023 general election, and insurance police had been secured for them against hazards of the election, especially possible attack.

“Punishment for any act of electoral offence against electoral officers have been made stiffer in the current 2022 Electoral Act (as amended) than the provisions in the previous 2010 Electoral Act (as amended).”

He, therefore, advised any ad-hoc staff who might not be ready to resist the temptations of election rigging antics to withdraw from conducting the exercise.

Earlier, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in charge of Anambra state, Dr Mrs Queen Elizabeth Agwu, urged the youths to brace up for the challenges of ensuring that the election was conducted free of thuggery and any other electoral malpractices.

It's laughable how zombidients in their usual myopia & delusion attribute or categorize the youth voting population to be Obi supporters.

Then I asked myself and other Tinubu and Atiku's youth supporters who are we? Old men youth? Very pathetic headless mob indeed.

Obi people will look for any narrative to console themselves knowing intently that their hope is next to nothing.

Have they even considered the percentage of voters turnout? We've not even had 45% voters turnout when we have 84m registered voters in spite of the massive rigging then.

Remember the
-1). "Youth are lazy people always waiting for freebies",

-2). "We have passed the "not-to-young-to-run" bill but wait till 2023 before you contest" nonsense.

-3). "Change begins with me( youth )" while the same old brigades of useless overspent old war horses are not ready to change.

-4). "Government can't provide white collar jobs for every youth" senseless statement by Fashiola.

-5). "I support the use of force on #EndSARS protesters" by Bola Tinubu.


Of course the youth revolution is gonna sweep away all these stubborn geriatrics who think the presidency is a retirement home

Can't you make your contribution without being insultive ? Whatever candidate you support is your choice. Let's analyse issues constructively rather than being insultive. After February 25, all these noise will stop. Whoever wins is our president -elect.
