According to the INEC commissioner, the expectation is that the corps members will serve as presiding officers in about 120,000 polling units and the estimated 30,000 voting points and settlements. He said, “There are 119,809 polling units in Nigeria and maybe additional 30,000 voting points will be created. The presiding officer shall delegate the responsibility of accreditation, preparing and issuing of ballot papers to the assistant presiding officer (VP) in-charge of a voting point. “Voting points are not stand-alone polling units. Voting points are appendages of the existing and main polling units.
