Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that there will be no use of the electronic voting system in the 2019 general elections.

He noted this on Friday while addressing participants at the International Press Institute world conference which took place in Abuja.

“There is no electronic balloting in 2019. In other words, there will be no electronic voting in the next general election but technology is already being used in many aspects of the processes.
