Swiping Voters’ Card not the same as Electronic Voting – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday said the use of chipped voters’ card in the next general election will not violate the section of the electoral law that prohibits the commission from conducting electronic voting.

Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Kayode Idowu, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman said the first batch of the permanent voters’ card is already being processed.

“INEC expects that by 2015, every voter will have that card,” he said.
