At Ward 3, Unit 6, accreditation was delayed after the BVAS machine developed technical issues, leaving voters waiting for the problem to be resolved.
A separate incident was also reported at Unit 009, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government Area, where a fight broke out due to the delays.
A resident, Olanrewaju Toheeb, said his polling unit had only one BVAS machine, despite the large number of registered voters.
He said voters were informed by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials that only one machine was provided because the polling unit had 1,082 registered voters, below the 1,200 threshold for two BVAS machines.
Toheeb called on INEC to review the arrangement, arguing that polling units with more than 1,000 registered voters should be provided with two BVAS machines to reduce waiting times.
He expressed concern that the limited number of machines could prolong the voting process until late at night.
“As it looks, it might be late into the night before we get the chance to vote,” he said.
The delays have sparked complaints among voters, with some expressing frustration over the slow accreditation process and the possibility of spending several hours at polling units before casting their ballots.
