The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has announced the extension of voting time in areas where the exercise commenced late.
This was made known in a statement on Saturday by Mohammed Haruna, INEC National Commissioner.
Haruna announced that the exercise had been extended in affected areas.
Newspot reported that election did not commence on time in some parts of the state due to rainfall and some logistics challenges.
“Our monitoring indicates early commencement of polls in many Polling Units, but there are also reports of late commencement in some locations.
“To ensure that no voter is disenfranchised, the Commission wishes to reiterate that, in line with our Regulations and Guidelines, voting will be extended wherever it commenced late and will continue until the last voter on the queue who arrived at the Polling Unit by 2:30 pm has voted,” parts of the statement read.
