The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has banned party agents or anyone affiliated to political parties from taking Point of Sale (POS)
Also banned from polling centres are materials capable of being used as inducement to lure voters into selling their votes.
During the presidential election, there were allegations of people using POS to transfer money to voters as a way to beat the cashless policy of the federal government, while some political parties deployed bales of wrappers, cartons of noodles and other food items to induce voters. Agwu stated: “The commission will not tolerate vote buying. We will not allow party agents to take POS machines into the polling centres, or any other material that can be used to induce the people.
