<strong>the Independent National Electoral Commission, has banned the use of mobile phones, cameras or any recording devices by voters during the Osun State governorship election.</strong>
<strong> </strong>
<strong>INEC Chairman, Professor MAHMOOD YAKUBU, disclosed this at a stakeholders meeting in Osogbo, the Osun state capital ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.</strong>
<strong> </strong>
<strong>He said the ban will help reduce the risk of vote buying and selling which he described as a norm amongst politicians.</strong>
<strong> </strong>
<strong>The INEC boss explained that voters will not be prevented from using their devices at the polling units, but would be banned from holding their cameras and telephones, once the ballot papers are issued and until they cast their votes in the ballot boxes.</strong>
