PLATEAU STATE INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL COMMISSION, (PLASIEC) CAUTIONS AGAINST USE OF UNAUTHORIZED LOGO BY INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS.

The Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) has come across a document purporting to show results of recent party primaries, bearing its Logo.

PLASIEC takes this seriously, as the unauthorized use of our logo can cause confusion, undermine our credibility, and compromise the integrity of the electoral process.

For the purpose of emphasis, the Electoral Umpire remains the sole authority responsible for announcing official election results and not political parties or individuals.

Already, PLASIEC has a live website, www.plasiec.ng where payment of nomination forms by Political Parties is ongoing. At the end of all primaries, PLASIEC will upload results from participating political parties for public view and access.

It should be noted that PLASIEC is still receiving results of the recently concluded primaries of different political parties.

To this end, the Commission warns against further circulation of the document carrying the PLASIEC logo and advises the public to disregard it, as it is not an official document from the Electoral Umpire. PLASIEC calls on plateau citizens to close ranks and work together in order to protect our democracy and ensure a free, fair, and peaceful election.
