We write with respect and regards to what we now consider one of the most transparent, free and fair election that has been conducted in the history of Nigeria, the recent Osun State election has been a total eye-opening experience that the new electronic voting system cum the elections results collating process made very easy and explicit. We must not fail to commend the efforts of the INEC in reducing buying of votes in polling units in these past conduct. But then in as much the people no longer wish to vote in Political parties but credible, tested and trusted individuals whom are well capable of leading the people and representing their best interest.

We wish to implore or crave the indulgence of the independence national electoral commission (INEC) for the need to include the photographs of the contesting individuals of the various political parties. 

There have always been numerous challenges during voting season, including associating candidates with their party logos.

To make voting easier especially for those who are not very literate, it is imperative to ensure voter education.

INEC should therefore include the picture and names of candidates to match their party logo on the ballot paper to help voters identify their candidate of choice with ease.
