INEC Insists That Card Readers Alone Will Be Used For Governorship & House of Assembly Elections On Saturday

PVC card reader mandated for Governorship Elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that only Card Readers would be used for Saturday’s governorship and house of assembly elections across the country for transparency sake. This was made known this morning by the Secretary to the commission, Augusta Ogakwu in a statement released earlier today.

“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.



“The relaxation of the Guideline on 28th March 2015 was only with respect to the Presidential and National Assembly elections held on that very date.

“The Commission has revaluated 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.
