The Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (ECNBA) has released a statement noting that the recently published lists of accredited voters although, errors noticed therein as a result of wrongly assigned Branches to some voters, amongst other issues but then, it does not affect the credibility of the election.

This is contained in a statement issued which was made available to TheNigeriaLawyer.

Besides, it restated that what would be used to vote is the enrollment number of each voter which remains unique to the individual.

The statement reads:
ECNBA STATEMENT N0. 019-UNIQUE IDENTIFIER
On this 29/7/2020, the ECNBA circulated the list of accredited voters for the NBA National Officers election 2020 slated to commence at 11:00PM of Wednesday, 29/7/2020.

Members are assured that the unique identifier of each voter to be able to vote remains the enrollment number which is peculiar to each voter.

The ECNBA received complaints of members being placed in branches other than their own.

This situation is regretted, but arose because members in the course of verification did not fully update information on their current branches and or sex and consequently were assigned the default positions (place holder) on the verification platform.

Members are advised to proceed to vote and disregard any such branches and or sex assigned to them as these do not bear on eligibility, convenience or result of the elections.

Members may wish to update their details on the membership portal of the NBA after the elections. In respect of omitted names, please see the ECNBA previous statements, more particularly ECNBA Statement No.018

Remember ballot opens at 11.00pm today, happy voting.
