Omorogbe noted that where the card readers fail to perform, the election for such area or unit would be conducted the following day as part of efforts to ensure the exercise is free, fair and credible.

The Delta REC, who spoke during a stakeholders meeting with officials of the various political parties in the state at INEC office in Asaba, assured that the election would be credible and free.
