INEC To Repeat SCR Demonstration In Ebonyi

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it would
repeat public demonstration of the Smart Card Readers, SCRs, in Ebonyi
State next Saturday.

The commission made the disclosure in a statement by the Chief Press
Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, in Abuja, Tuesday.

The statement quoted Idowu as saying that the decision was made when
the commission met on March 9 to consider field reports from the
public demonstration of SCRs conducted in 12 states last Saturday.

He said: "INEC took a serious view of the high rate of SCRs' failure
to authenticate voters' fingerprints in some areas, particularly in
Ebonyi State."
