The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has launched a portal for ad hoc staff recruitment for the 2023 elections.
Supervisory presiding officers, presiding officers, assistant presiding officers, registration area technicians, and registration area center managers are examples of ad hoc staff.
The commission stated in a letter to all resident electoral commissioners (RECs) signed by A.T. Yusuf, INEC acting secretary, that the online application portal will open on September 14 at 8 a.m. and close on December 14 at 8 p.m.
The letter states, “The Commission has approved the use of INECPRES and its reactivation for interested applicants who wish to serve as ad hoc staff for the 2023 general elections.”
“As a result of the foregoing, the Commission has directed that all interested applicants, with the exception of collation/returning officers, register on the INECPRES in order to be considered for selection and deployment as ad-hoc staff in the 2023 general elections.”
“To achieve the required number of ad-hoc staff per states, it is important that robust engagement/sensitization by the admin. secs/HOD EOPs/EOs & AEOs under the leadership of the RECs is commenced with the authorities of Federal, State Tertiary Institutions and the NYSC offices (state/government levels).
“The INECPRES is accessible via two links on the INEC website: www.inecnigeria.org” (a link for the Mobile App and the other link is for the web portal).
“The registration web portal’s URL is https://pres.inecnigeria.org.” The INECPRES Mobile App installer (for Android phones only) can be downloaded at https://inecpres.app.com/pres.
