A 55-year-old voter, Sharafa Lasisi, has appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission to resolve the failure of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System to recognise his face, saying he should not be disenfranchised.
Lasisi made the appeal on Saturday while attempting to vote at Polling Unit 006, Ward 04, in the Isale/Oke-Afo area of Ikirun, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Osun State.
The voter said he had made several attempts to have his face verified by the BVAS machine but was unsuccessful.
He said election officials attributed the difficulty to network problems and advised him to return later.
