What Is INEC Portal?
The INEC portal is a website of the Independent National Electoral Commission that serves as the single point of access for information, curated specifically for Nigerian voters.
You may view election results in real time, voter data, and much more using the portal.
To further understand, consider the following example;
Mandy writes for a blog; she is constantly writing and does not have time to go to her voting location to see if her name was listed among those who will vote in the upcoming election.
Let’s assume that Mandy registered to vote in Edo State; her local government is Owan West; her ward is Uhonmora Ora; and her polling unit is Owere Primary School, Uhonmora.
If we combine the route, Mandy’s polling place will be Owere Primary School and she will be required to cast her ballot in the upcoming election in Uhonmora Ora.
