A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,(APC), Prof. Adio Afolayan, has described the seamless operation of BIMODAL Accreditation System for the conduct of ongoing gubernatorial election in Ekiti State by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as excellent.
Afolayan, who is also the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs in the state made this known on Saturday in an interview with newsmen at Efon-Alaaye, after casting his votes.
INEC is adopting BIMODAL Accreditation System, in which accreditation and voting were done simultaneously in the Saturday governorship election.
According to Afolayan, it took less than five minutes for a voter to accredit and vote simultaneously.
“So far, INEC arrangement is so superb and okay. Within five minutes, one is accredited, does the voting, unlike before you accredit, hours later you still queue to cast your vote,” Afolayan said.
He also lauded the peaceful conduct of the electorate, saying that people conducted themselves peacefully without any bickering.
Afolayan voted at Ward 4, Unit 4 at Efon-Alaaye in Efon Local Government area rea of Ekiti.
However, some voters in Ifaki-Ekiti, raised alarm that the Bi-modal Voter Accreditation System (BIVAS) machines were not functioning well in many areas of the town.
