Okoye said, “As of today, we have 176,846 Polling Units in the country, and each polling unit must be serviced by at least one electronic voting machine. “At the appropriate time, the short-listing and selection of companies that may supply or fabricate the electronic voting machines will be subjected to due process requirements and the Procurement Act. We must strive to clean up the party process and hold them to the same standards like the commission,” Okoye said. The community cautioned INEC against rewriting history of a community in the name of creating a new Polling Unit. “Inasmuch as we support the creation of an additional Polling Unit in our area, we must, however, put the record straight as regards the naming of that Polling Unit.
