by Ajibola Emmanuel

Where to Vote
According to the INEC guidelines for the 2019 elections, Voting shall take place in:
Polling Units and Polling Points
In the case of FCT, voting takes place at Polling Units, Voting Point Settlements (VPS) and Voting Points.
N.B Voting points are created out of Polling Units based on multiples of 500 and a maximum of 750 registered voters or as may otherwise be determined by the commission. Where a VPS is created, it shall be treated as a Poling Unit.
All voting locations shall be located within enclosures in public places accessible to every voter. Where they are open spaces, INEC stipulated that canopies will be provided. Public facilities include public schools, civic centres, town halls and communal open spaces. They do not include places of worship, palaces of traditional rulers and private homes.

After Voting, what happens

I Leave the Polling Unit peacefully or wait to observe the process till the result is declared.
II Maintain your calm, do not disturb

N.B: The result of each Polling unit will be pasted at the unit for everyone to see.
