THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Abuja, on Thursday, said it planned to conduct voter card re-validation for selected registered voters across the country.

Mr Chidi Nwafor, Director of Information and Communications Technology, INEC, disclosed this in his presentation on “Deployment of Technology in Nigerian Elections: The Progress Made So Far,” at an e-voting workshop.

Nwafor, represented by an Assistant Director in the ICT Department, Mrs Abimbola Oladunjoye, said the plan was to address failure of card readers to authenticate some voters’ finger-prints during elections, as recorded in some instances.

He said that the revalidation would request the selected voters to do fingerprint re-capture.
