The Electoral Commission (EC) has indicated that it plans to hold several media briefings on Saturday, December 7, to provide information to the general public on the polls.

In a press release, the EC said its Election Day Media Briefings will also be used to respond to stories and reports from around the country.

“The Electoral Commission is pleased to inform the Media and the General Public that the Commission will provide regular media briefings on Election Day. The essence of the Media Briefings is to provide the public updates on the Elections. Media personnel who have accreditation cards for the National Collation Centre are invited to cover the Media Briefings.

“At 9:00 am on 7th December, 2024, the Commission will hold the first media briefing. There will be fürther briefings at 12:00 noon, 3:00 pm, and 6:00 pm. From 9:00 pm on Election Day, the Commission will provide Media Briefings as and when results are received from the region,” the EC said in a press release.

Each briefing session will last no more than 30 minutes.

The EC in its release urged the media and the general public to verify reports on the elections with the Commission to avoid sharing unverified stories on their platforms.
