The supplementary elections will hold in 2,660 polling units across 185 local governments in the county.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will today conduct supplementary elections for two governorship seats and 93 legislative seats across 24 states of the federation.
A total of 2,660 polling units across 185 local governments are affected.
Except for the Enugu East Senatorial seat and Esan North/Esan South/Igueben federal constituency, others were rolled over from the 25 February national and 18 March state elections.
INEC announced 15 April for the conduct of the supplementary elections in all of the constituencies.
The elections are holding in areas where they were previously suspended due to reasons including violence and the 'margin of lead principle'. This is a situation where the votes margin between the winner and the first runner up is less than the cancelled votes.
