A delayed start was observed in most polling units, alongside the near absence of ad-hoc staff for the Jos North local government council elections and other areas, leading to widespread unease across polling units in Jos North and Jos East Local Government Areas of Plateau State.
The Nation correspondent reports that, in addition to the lack of ad-hoc staff, election materials had not arrived at most of the polling units visited by 11:00 am.
These include Ali Kazaure Ward, Jabong Ward, Hwolshe, Dadin Kowa, and Naraguta B Ward.
Some prospective voters expressed disappointment, stating they arrived at polling units only to find no staff from the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) present to conduct accreditation.
“I was here since 7:30 am so that I can vote for candidates of my choice, but you can see no one to attend to us. I am surprised that such a thing is happening with all the assurance of preparedness by the PLASIEC,” Joseph Emmanuel, has said.
