The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, said that voters will not be allowed to go inside polling booths with their telephones, cameras and any other devices that can record images at upcoming governorship elections in Osun on Saturday 22nd Steptember 2018.
In a statement made by the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, at the stakeholders’ forum organised ahead of Saturday election, he said” this would help to curb the issue of vote-buying and vote-selling which he described as a new strategy adopted by politicians to rig elections.
He said voters would not be barred from using their devices at the polling units but would not be allowed to hold their cameras and telephones from the moment they are issued with ballot papers until they cast their marked ballots inside the ballot boxes
