The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, has ordered for deployment of more voter registration machines to some centres in Edo, for the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration CVR.
Yakubu said this in Benin, when he visited some of the registration centres in the state to access the ongoing exercise.
He lauded the massive turnout of the registration at different centres in the state, and assured of doing everything possible to make the process seamless.
Speaking at the registration centre located Western Boys Secondary School, Yakubu directed that two additional machines and Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, should be mobilised to the centre.
Yakubu warned staff of the commission against demanding for money before registering people who presented themselves for the exercise.
On observation that some political parties were trying to hijack the exercise in favour of their supporters, Yakubu said that the commission would be meeting with the state commissioner of Police and other security agencies in the state to address the concern.
