March 9 Polls: Use of Smart Card Reader Mandatory, INEC Insists via thisdaylive
The Independent National Electoral Commission has insisted that the use of Smart Card Reader in the Saturday’s Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections is mandatory.
The commission noted that these allegations had led to speculations that INEC might be forced to jettison the use of card reader in the March 9 Governorship, State Houses of Assembly and Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections. “The use of the Smart Card Readers is not only mandatory but its deliberate non-use attracts the sanction of possible prosecution of erring officials in accordance with the INEC Regulations and Guidelines for the conduct of elections. This is in addition to the voiding of any result emanating from such units or areas, as was done in the Presidential and National Assembly elections of February 23, 2019.
