The OSSIEC Chairman, used the medium to displayed a specimen of the ballot box specially designed for the election.
The ballot box, which is to be locally sourced, is a collapsible, carriage, spacious, transparent, water-proof material, added with a unique bar code.
Barr Abioye added further that, apart from the strong material with which the ballot box is made of, for the first time in the history of the Commission, the ballot box has been uniquely barcodes with secret and security marks such that the ballot box meant for a polling unit cannot be used for another, making it difficult to be compromised. It is strictly controlled. This is to guarantee the credibility and integrity of the Electoral process.
