The Independent National Electoral Commission has explained why it will not jettison the use of card readers for the governorship and State House of Assembly elections scheduled for Saturday.
The commission in a statement issued by its Secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu said the relaxation of the card readers was done only for the presidential and National Assembly elections.
The statement said, “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 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.”
