The Coalition Of Domestic Elections Observers (CODEO) has called on the National Election Security Task Force to take punitive action against persons who violated the electoral laws during the Special Voting on Monday, December 2.
A December 3 statement issued by CODEO and signed by its National Coordinator, chronicled reported cases of vote-buying and photographing of cast ballots which occurred during the Special Voting exercise.
CODEO urged the police to swiftly deal with such cases. "CODEO is alarmed by the observed incidents of vote-buying and the photographing of cast ballots.
It is concerning that some presiding officers and security officers did nothing to stop the violations.
