Mr. Adekunle appealed to citizens—especially those who have just attained the voting age of 18 years—to register, update, or transfer their voter records ahead of future elections. He stated that the exercise will run from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays (Mondays to Fridays).
He further called on stakeholders, community leaders, political parties, youth groups, and civil society organisations in Ondo State to mobilise residents for the exercise, noting that voter registration is the first step towards having a voice in governance. “Your vote is your voice; ensure it is heard by getting registered,” he emphasised.
The NOA Director assured eligible voters of INEC’s readiness and fairness in conducting the exercise, expressing optimism that robust participation will further strengthen the nation’s democratic institutions.
