(INEC) has pitched for the review of the provision in the Electoral Act which allows the citizens of 18 years to be eligible for voting.
The federal lawmakers have specifically recommended that INEC should consider any married girl who is not up to 18 years as an eligible voter.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on INEC, Senator Kabiru Gaya, and his counterpart in the House of Representatives, Aisha Dukku, tabled the proposal before the Technical Committee on Electoral Reform on Wednesday, 16 December 2020.
