The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced the introduction of a policy where nomination forms will be made available on the EC’s portals to allow presidential and parliamentary candidates to file their nominations ahead of the 2020 December elections.
The move by the EC is to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
The Chairperson of the EC, Mrs. Jean Mensa, made this known at a press briefing dubbed “Let the Citizens Know” and said, “The nomination forms will be made available on our website and so candidates no longer have to come to pick up their forms at our offices before filing; they simply have to visit our websites and download them.”Jean Mensa
