While there are about 2457 registered voters in the affected polling units and 2357 collect Permanent Voters Cards, the March 18 election only recorded 546 votes in the units.

The units recorded the following votes; Oboro – 48, Enekorogha – 45, Edegbene – 207 and Ayakoromor – 246 in the main election.
