In a letter to all Resident Electoral Commissioners signed by the commission’s acting secretary, A.T. Yusuf, the commission
disclosed that the portal would open on September 14 and close on December 14.
“The commission has approved the use of INECPRES and its reactivation for interested Applicants who wish to serve as ad-hoc staff for the 2023 General Elections,” the document said.
The electoral body added, “Consequent upon the above, the commission has directed that all interested applicants with the exception of Collation/ Returning officers must register on the INECPRES to be eligible for selection and deployment as ad hoc staff in the 2023 general elections.”
