The security personnel who will be in charge of maintaining public order and safety during this year’s general election have chosen an identifying method, according to the National Election Committee (NEC). From July 22, the day before the election, until the NEC decides they are no longer essential, the guards will be on duty.
The guards will don armbands made of light material in the color of light blue, according to the January 6 announcement. The NEC logo and the phrase “Election Security Agent 2023” are displayed on the 12 cm broad bands.
When on duty, every official member of the election security team must wear the armbands on their left upper arms such that the NEC logo and wording are clearly visible.
