The Independent National
Electoral Commission has announced that Card Readers would be used for
Saturday’s governorship and house of assembly elections across the country.
This was made known this morning by the Secretary to the commission, Augusta
Ogakwu in a statement released this morning.
“The Independent National
Electoral Commission wishes to inform all Nigerians that Card Readers will be
used for the April 11, 2015 Elections.
“The provision of the
Guidelines for the conduct of the 2015 General Elections which outlined what is
to be done if a Card Reader fails and cannot be replaced by the Commission within
a specified time frame (i.e. Reschedule the election to the next day) will be
enforced. Continue...
“The relaxation of the
Guideline on 28th March 2015 was only with respect to the Presidential and
National Assembly elections held on that date.
“The Commission has reviewed
the operation of the Card Reader in the 28th March Elections, identified the
challenges and has taken adequate measures to address them,” the statement read
in parts.
