The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Taraba State has received the first batch of non-sensitive election materials as part of preparations for next year’s general elections.
The materials, which arrived in the state in a truck, are being delivered in batches, with additional consignments expected to follow until all the materials required for the elections are supplied.
The Public Relation Officer of the commission in the state, Mr. Matthias, explained that the phased delivery was intended to ensure the availability of all necessary materials ahead of the elections.
According to the PRO, non-sensitive election materials include ballot boxes and their lids, stickers, posters, envelopes, ink pads, pens, sellotapes and other consumables required for the conduct of elections.
Mr. Matthias said, each arriving truck would convey different categories of materials, adding that subsequent consignments would contain other items until the commission received the complete requirements for the elections.
He added, the development marks an early step in INEC’s logistical preparations for the 2027 elections in the state.
