YIAGA says the late arrival of polling unit officials was exacerbated by the late deployment of the polling officials and election materials from the Registration Areas Centres (RACs) on election morning.
Nigeria's voter register - listing tens of millions of names, addresses, dates of birth, job details, phone numbers, and biometrics - is the largest such database in Africa, according to INEC. On Saturday, electoral officials will collect another round of face and fingerprint data from voters massing at tens of thousands of polling stations, with only those whose identities match the result from previous biometric records gathered by INEC since 2010 eligible to take part.
