Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it will soon launch a portal to recruit ad-hoc staff.
In a letter signed by A.T. Yusuf for the INEC Secretary on Wednesday, the commission said that the portal will be open to eligible applicants from 14 September to 14 December by 8:00 p.m.
According to the letter, the exercise, launched through INECPRES, will be opened to other categories of ad-hoc staff except for collation/returning officers.
The letter addressed to all Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs), requested the cooperation of all administrative secretaries, and heads of departments, among others, to attain the required number of ad-hoc staff per state.
“To achieve the required number of ad-hoc staff per state, it is important that robust engagement/sensitisation by the Admin. Secs HOD EOPS/EOs & AEOS under the leadership of the RECS is commenced with the Authorities of Federal, State Tertiary Institutions and the NYSC offices (state/ Government levels),” he said.
He also said that INECPRES is available via two links on the INEC website (one for the Mobile App and the other for the web portal).
