Some voters at Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State volunteered to replace ad-hoc officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) who failed to report for election duty.
The volunteers took the place of the ad-hoc staff to ensure that voting took place at polling units 006, 007 and 008 at Uruokwe Central School in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo LGA.
The difficulty posed a challenge as the volunteers were untrained and had difficulties handling the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and following the laid down procedure for the exercise.
It was the same situation at Polling Units 018 and 019, in Umuanyiegbu Hall, Ward 004, Ozubulu, Ekwusigo LGA.
