Few days to the 5th October 2024 local government elections in Rivers State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it is yet to release the 2023 Voter Register to the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).

This was disclosed on Wednesday by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Johnson Alalibo, who spoke at a press briefing in Port Harcourt.

Mr Alalibo said RSIEC had applied for the Register, but it was yet to be released to them because of administrative reasons.

He further confirmed that INEC is in receipt of the court judgement from the Federal High Court in Abuja barring the commission from releasing the register.

With this revelation, it is unclear whether RSIEC will continue with the conduct of the elections.
