The Independent National Electoral Commission will not use incident form in the 2019 elections as the card reader will be effectively utilised.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Imo State, Prof. Francis Ezeonu, said this at a Town Hall Meeting/Sensitisation Campaign of the commission on the Continuous Voter Registration in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo.
He said that the commission was upgrading the card reader to make it more functional and effective during elections.
He told the participants and politicians that the era of playing pranks with people’s Permanent Voter Cards during elections was gone, adding that anyone with a PVC that the card reader could not recognise would be disenfranchised and would not be given any incident form.
Ezeonu said that accreditation and voting would start simultaneously to avoid long queues and time-wasting during elections.
