Nigeria's electoral commission on today said polling in the country's presidential and parliamentary election had been suspended in some places because of glitches with new voter ID card readers.
The Independent National Electoral Commission said there had been "challenges" with the technology in "many" places, without specifying a number, that had led to the suspension of the accreditation process.
"In polling units where accreditation was suspended to the following day in accordance with the existing guidelines, arrangement will be made for voters to vote on Sunday," information commissioner Chris Yimoga told reporters in Abuja.
