The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has directed its officials in Cross River to stop the use of card readers.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Okey Ezeani, said the directive became necessary due to several complaints across the state on the card readers.
Meanwhile, some electoral officials in charge of Akam Ward in Ikom Local Government Area are said to have absconded from their polling unit.
The officials reportedly fled the polling units amidst reports that there were plans to lynch them and do away with the electoral materials by agents of a political party.
At about 1:15 p.m., voting had commenced across many polling units in the state.
However, in Obubu, the PDP governorship candidate and senator representing Cross River North, Benedict Ayade, complained of late accreditation. As at 2 p.m., voting was yet to commence.
They also announced that arrangements will be made for voters who couldn't vote today to vote tomorrow Sunday March 29th. See the tweet below...
