Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) , Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has given the assurance that all prospective voters on queue will cast their ballot regardless of the delays in the process.
He said regardless of how long it takes, everyone waiting before the close of voting at 2.30 pm will be allowed to cast their ballot.
While acknowledging that officials and materials arrived some polling units late, Yakubu said feed backs from across the country indicate that the BVAS machines were functioning optimally.
He, however, noted that an attack by suspected bandits in Alawa area of Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State delayed the deployment of men and materials to the area.
On the complaint by some parties that they could not find the tags for their agents, the INEC chief said the Commission allowed the parties to nominate their own agents and upload the names on a dedicated portal, which they did.
