The Senate has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to allow registered and eligible prison inmates to vote during all general elections in the country.
The Upper Chamber discussed this during the plenary when it considered a motion on the prerogative of Prison Inmates to vote in general elections in Nigeria sponsored by Senator Abba Moro.
They called on INEC to determine the status of the inmates that are constitutionally and legally qualified to be registered as eligible voters and should vote at elections.
They urged INEC and all relevant agencies to carry out a voracious voter’s enlightenment in prisons in Nigeria, to educate the inmates of their rights and necessity to exercise their franchise in general elections.
