Voters have been left frustrated in Ward 7, Unit 39, as the BIVAS machine failed.
Naijaonpoint reports that 839 registered voters are seated around the unit as they await another machine from Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The polling unit official confirmed that a new machine will brought for the election, expressing hope that the voting time will be extended.
Speaking with Punch, a senior citizen, Friday Aiwekhoe, said it was appalling that the BIVAS machine would fail despite the preparation the INEC put into the exercise.
He noted that the problem could be a political and a ploy to disenfranchise the people.
