Civil society organisation, Yiaga Africa, has questioned the non-usage of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) in the conduct of the Rivers local government elections. 

Yiaga Africa’s Programme Director Cynthia Mbamalu, who spoke on Saturday on Channels Television’s Sunrise show, believes the absence of the device in the polls raises concerns over the quality of the exercise.

According to the election observer body, polls should be conducted in line with the Electoral Act which mandates the use of BVAS.
