Nobody will be allowed to cast their vote at a polling station other than the one at which they were registered, the National Electoral Commission (NEC) said yesterday.

The National Electoral Commission (NEC) insisted yesterday that eligible voters will only be allowed to cast their ballots at the place they have registered themselves and not otherwise.

A silent crisis is looming as the election nears. It would not be surprising if eligible voters were turned away in large numbers and denied the right to elect the leaders of their choice--simply because of inaccurate or missing particulars.

Some 11 million voters go to the polls today to elect grassroots officials in a political contest that sets the stage for the ultimate showdown in the 2015 General Election.
