ANAMBRA DECIDES: INEC Device Delays Accreditation At Aguata Polling Units

PRIME Business Africa can report midday today that voting are going on seamlessly in Aguata Local Governmnent Area, with accreditation and voting going on simultaneously in various polling units.

However, there was a challenge of delay in the process of voter accreditation caused by malfunctioning of the INEC Smart Cardreader device used for accreditation.

Prospective voters complained of intermitent failure of the device to carryout face recognition, and also thumbprinting of voters which are part of the accreditation process.

In Umudioka, there is reportedly issue of low voters turnout.

This might not be unconnected with issue of people obeying the no-movement order issued by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba.

The IGP yesterday ordered no movement of people in, within and out of the state from 11:59 Friday night to 11:59 Saturday night to forestall any form of violence or criminality that may be perpetrated by criminal gangs during the election.
