We will plead with those whose names are not on the list we have given out to stay away from the venue.�

EC has finished and distributed the Statement of Poll to the various regional capitals�After the ballot, the votes will be declared. We have specifically left the entire process in the hands of presiding officers and we believe they will do a good job� he asserted.
