Mahmoud Yakubu, the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Monday said voters would not be allowed to go inside polling booths with their mobile telephones, cameras and any other devices that can record images.
Speaking in Osogbo at the stakeholders’ forum organised ahead of Saturday election, Mr Yakubu said the measure would help to curb the issue of vote-buying and vote-selling.
He said such is the new strategy adopted by politicians to rig elections.
According to him, 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.
