Small ballot boxes proving hard to accommodate cast votes

As at 2:50pm, most polling units have started rounding up voting excise.

From Nyanya, Kuru village, Karu site, to Jikwoyi, Ungwan Ngede and Kpeghegi, up to Kurudu, most voting units visited have either finished or rounding up the voting process.

Few voters are still noticed in some of these places visited by our reporter.
Most of the voter however, complained that they were forced to stuff their voting papers into the small boxes provided by INEC.

‘The boxes are too small to contain the number of voter papers as we are forced to squeeze the papers into the boxes provided.

‘I am afraid this may affect the papers as the ink may be blurred, when they are being counted, a voter told our reporter at Nyanya by Redeem Church polling unit.

The same scenario is replicated in other places visited by our reporter.
