Outlining a raft of new policies being rolled out by the election management body ahead of the 7 December 2020 polls, the EC chair said: “In view of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Commission will, for the first time, make nomination forms available on its website”.

“As such, candidates no longer have to come to the Commission to pick up their nomination forms before filing. They can simply visit our website and download the various forms”.

She emphasised: “This will also help to lighten the burden that candidates have to go through to file” while expressing hopes that this initiative will “simplify the arduous filing process”
