Steps On How To Vote Tommorow by CuteMaryJ: 10:51am On Mar 27, 2015
PLEASE, WE IMPLORE EVERYONE TO READ TO THE END! Ignorance is a hindrance and we want everyone to be enlightened on how to vote tommorow. So many people won't vote tommorow because they don't know this. Vote gently, peacefully but quick so you can get out of the voting venue as soon as possible. Here are some steps on how to vote, xeroxed from INEC and the Buhari group.

>Steps:
¤VOTER REGISTRATION

Step 1: A Nigerian citizen who is eligible to vote, goes to the INEC website to locate his Polling Unit.

Step 2: The citizen goes to the chosen Polling Unit to register

Step 3: The citizen would have his/her picture taken and his/her details captured.

Step 4: The citizen would be given a Voter ID card which makes him/hereligible to vote on election day.

>ELECTION DAY:
¤STAGE 1: ACCREDITATION

Step 1: Go to the Polling Unit you were registered with your voter registration card ad join the queue

Step 2: Present your Voter registration card to the INEC official and ensure that your name is the register

Step 3: Your finger would be marked with ink to show that you have been accredited.

¤STAGE 2: VOTING

Step 1: Join the queue with the intention of casting your vote

Step 2: When it gets to your turn, ensure your name is ticked in the voter register

Step 3: You would be given a ballot paper listing out the political parties

Step 4: Enter the booth and select your preferred candidate

Step 5: Place your ballot paper in the ballot box

ACCREDITATION CRITERIAS:

The voters queue up in an orderly manner; The Poll Officials will use the card reader to read (verify and authenticate) the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) presented by a voter seeking to be accredited to confirm that his/her name is in the register of voters and that he/she is the rightful owner of the card; His/her name is ticked on the left side of the register after the confirmation;Indelible ink is applied on the appropriate finger of the individual’s left hand; If the voter’s fingerprint is not authenticated, the voter may still be accredited if the Presiding Officer is satisfied that his/her name is in the register and that he/she is the rightful owner of the card. It is compulsory for ALL, even those living with disabilities. Where culture does not allow men and women to mix up in a queue, separate queues are formed for men and women. You can't send anyone to be accreditated on your behalf, not even when you are sick. In order to cast your vote, you are advised to stay within the polling unit before voting starts. If you decide to leave, ensure you return to the polling unit before the commencement of voting at 1.30pm. Once voters queue up and the number is recorded, no voter, accredited or not, will be allowed to join the queue. Appear in person at the unit where you registered between 8.00am and 1.00pm with your permanent voter’s card.

1. Accreditation commences at 8.00am. Voters are expected to queue up in an orderly manner;
2.Card reader will be used to verify and authenticate the PVCs presented by voters
3.Accreditation closes at 1.00 pm. A security personnel is required to stand behind the last person on the queue to prevent any other person joining. However, everyone on the queue as at 1.00 pm shall be attended to. The number of the accredited voters is announced and written in the column provided for, on the result sheet;
4.At 1.30pm, the accredited voters are invited to queue up in an orderly manner for the commencement of voting;
5.Accredited voters on the queue are counted and the figure loudly announced and entered into the result sheet;

7.The voter is directed to a cubicle to make his/her choice on the ballot paper in secret, and thereafter, drop the ballot into the ballot box in the full view of all present;
8.Voting is declared closed when the last voter on the queue has voted.
9.The ballots are sorted, counted and the votes scoredby each contesting party/candidate as well as the rejected/spoilt ballots are announced and filled intothe result sheet;
10.The result is entered into form EC 60E and pasted at the polling unit;
11.The results from the PollingUnits are taken to the various levels of collation for computation.

If the voter has no fingers, an indelible ink shall be applied on his corresponding toe. Even if (s)he has no toe, an indelible ink is applied on the corresponding toe of the person brought by the voter to assist him. If a voter who is blind or unable to distinguish symbols or who suffers any other physical challenge is accompanied into the polling unit and assisted to vote by a person chosen by him/her.


NOTE: Do not sell your PVC. Be careful while going to the venue. Avoid contact with thugs. Take an open road on your way to your voting venue. Make sure you check regularly to be sure your PVC is not stolen. While voting, make sure NO ONE sees who you votef for (Some voters are spies and are there to just monitor the votes of people. If you don't vote for their candidate, you may be trailed, harmed or harrassed). Once you vote, LEAVE the voting venue IMMEDIATELY. BE CAREFUL! BE VIGILANT!

SAY NO TO VIOLENCE! Vote Wisely!
