The Kano State Government has deployed 9,680 volunteers across its 484 wards to boost the ongoing online pre-voter registration exercise.
Each ward will have at least 20 trained volunteers equipped with Android phones to assist residents, with more assigned to larger areas.
The decision followed a meeting between the state’s Voter Registration Mobilisation Taskforce and all 44 local government chairmen.
