This makes Kaduna the first state in Nigeria to adopt electronic voting and the second sub-national government in Africa to achieve such feat after Namibia.
Voting is underway in many polling units across the 19 local government areas of Kaduna state. Although election materials arrived as late as 10:00 a.m. in some of the polling units, the exercise is currently going on smoothly with the use of the electronic voting machine.
Also, there is massive deployment of security operatives in the polling units and flashpoints within the state to ensure a hitch-free exercise.
