The results of elections into Chairmanship and Councillorship posts in the 57 Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas of Lagos State scheduled for Saturday will be announced at the Local Government/ Local Council Development Area Collation Centres and Ward Collation Centres respectively.
The Chairman of the Commission, Hon. Justice Ayotunde Phillips, made this known while speaking with some stakeholders on the preparations of the Commission for the elections on Tuesday.
Phillips stressed that the Commission would, however, be monitoring developments at the various Collation Centres and other locations in the State through reports sent to the Election Support Centre at the headquarters by the field officers of the Commission.
Meanwhile, the Commission has continued the deployment of non-sensitive materials to the Electoral Officers in the 57 LGS/LCDAs of the State in preparations for the elections.
“With the early deployment of the materials to the LGs/LCDAs, the Commission intends to eliminate any delay that could militate against the smooth conduct of the elections on Saturday,” she said.
The Electoral Officers are expected to distribute the materials to Supervisory Presiding Officers in their LGs/LCDAs who will, in turn, distribute the materials to the Presiding Officers for the conduct of the elections.
