The Independent National Electoral Commission has extended voting time at Polling Units where the voting process in the ongoing Edo State governorship election began late.
It disclosed this in a statement by Mohammed Haruna, National Commissioner and Member, Information and Voter Education Committee.
Haruna, in the statement on Saturday, said INEC had continued to monitor the ongoing governorship election in Edo State from its situation room at the National Headquarters in Abuja.
He said the commission’s monitoring revealed there was early commencement of polls in many PUs, and the late commencement of the same in some other locations.

He said: “To ensure that no voter is disenfranchised, the commission wishes to reiterate that, in line with our Regulations and Guidelines, voting will be extended wherever it commenced late and will continue until the last voter on the queue who arrived at the polling unit by 2.30pm has voted.
“Accordingly, we have drawn the attention of our office in Edo to ensure that, where necessary, there is adequate power supply from our back-up electric generators in the affected polling units or ward collation centres.”
