Mr Amupitan made this known on Wednesday in Osogbo at the Osun Governorship Election Stakeholders’ Forum.
According to him, INEC has mapped localised risk corridors, identified emerging threats, anticipated potential flashpoints, prioritised interventions, and implemented mitigation measures, particularly in vulnerable areas of the state.
He added that the commission has extended PVC collection to July 31 to enable more eligible voters to obtain their cards.
“The Nigeria Police Force, as the lead agency in election security, is fully prepared to discharge its constitutional responsibility with professionalism, impartiality, and respect for the rule of law,” he said.
