Governor Martin Elechi of Ebonyi on Saturday collected his permanent voter’s card at the Echi-Alike polling booth in Ikwo Local Government Area.
Speaking with newsmen after collecting the card, he advised those who had collected the card to ensure they voted in the 2015 elections.
“Those who have the card should endeavour to vote during the 2015 general elections.
“Carrying out our civic duty on a day of election is a synergy between registration and voting,” he said.
The governor also urged those who were yet to register to do so during the impending continuous voter registration.
He said the INEC had recorded improvements in the election processes in the country.
“This feat is worth commending because in the last few years we have witnessed overwhelming improvements compared to what they used to be in the past,” he said.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ebonyi, Mr Okechukwu Ezeani, said the exercise would continue till a few months to the elections.
