To achieve these twin goals, Ebonyi State Independent Electoral Commission (EBSIEC) committed itself to inspiring the people's confidence in the electoral process through mass mobilization, by way of enlightenment and sensitization through lectures, workshops and seminars; as well as conducting transparent, free and fair elections whenever the opportunity arises e.g. Bye Elections.
