Across the 21 local government areas of Anambra State, the atmosphere has already taken on the familiar character of a grassroots election centre as voters, electoral officials and party agents converge for the local government election.
The polling venues earlier listed by the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) across the 21 local government areas as locations for electoral activities are already receiving voters for the process of choosing their representatives at the grassroots.
Voters at the polling centers are ready to vote, party supporters are keeping watch over proceedings, electoral personnel are attending to final arrangements, and security personnel are maintaining order around the voting environments.
The settings reflect the intimate nature of grassroots politics, where voters often know the candidates, their families, and the issues affecting their immediate communities.
However, in this election, many political parties in the state did not field candidates in most of the local government areas, as the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, can be said to be stronger in the state.

ANSIEC has made promises that it had trained and equipped ad-hoc personnel and deployed electoral materials for the exercise across the state’s twenty-one local government areas and three hundred and twenty-six wards; there is, then, high hope of a peaceful and orderly exercise.
The local government election is a significant test of grassroots participation and democratic representation in the state, and Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has given assurances of a peaceful process.
