The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will increase the quantity and quality of card readers.
This was disclosed by the INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu, on Tuesday during his first meeting with the regional commissioners in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Mr Yakubu said that INEC would also begin to use votes collation machines for speedier and more credible polls.
He added that 81 elections carried out in 2015 had been nullified and 15 upturned showing a number more than the 2007 and 2011 elections combined.
The INEC boss recommended that increased use of technology was the way to prevent re-occurrence of such challenge.
He also announced plans by the commission to review its policies towards improving the electoral process.
