Card reader failure stalls voting in two FCT polling units

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC said on Saturday in Abuja that elections in two polling units in the Federal Capital Territory which were halted by card reader failure would hold on Sunday.

INEC's National Commissioner, Prof Antonia Simbine told newsmen in Abuja that arrangements have been made to repeat Saturday's Council elections in the affected polling units on Sunday.

She said that the affected polling units are Dabi Village Square Unit 002, Pai Ward, Kwali and Dabo Fulani in Gwagwa, AMAC.

“As of now, we have just two polling units where election will be repeated.

“It may be more than that at the end of the day but right now we are sure of two.

“In Pai ward, we are going to repeat the exercise by tomorrow, also in Gwagwa (AMAC); the card reader malfunctioned and the voters waited patiently in those places.

“They are going to have opportunity to vote tomorrow (Sunday),” she said.
