The Independent National Electoral Commission is to use the 1993-method of accreditation for elections where all voters will be verified first, openly counted, before balloting from a queue. The commission, however, ruled out the possibility of checking finger prints as part of the verification before voting.
The process, which departs from past elections since 1999, is only inches away from the popular Option A4 used by the military regime of Ibrahim Babangida for the 1993 elections, which has been widely adjudged one of the nation's best.
The commission announced yesterday, at a meeting with the 63 political parties, that for the general elections on April 2, April 9, and April 16, voters will for four hours be checked against their particulars obtained during last registration of voters, after which a head-count is taken, and a queue formed, before balloting begins at different polling centres.
