The Chairman, Mr Isiaka Olagunju, had hinted about the tenable documents for voting in the forthcoming elections weeks ago.
He said what was imperative was for a person’s name on any of the identification documents to match the name on the Voters Register, which he said will he displayed across the 33 local government election areas from next week.
Olagunju added that he had instructed security agencies that those whose names are not on the voters register and present at the polling centres to be arrested.
