Accreditation of voters for elections in Cross River State suffered hitches and was delayed in many places across the state as the card reader provided by INEC malfunctioned in many polling units.

The card reader malfunctioning was recorded in places like Ikom, Obudu, Akpabuyo, Calabar South, Calabar Municipal and Odukpani local government areas.

However, in Calabar South, after the earlier malfunctioning between 8.am to about 10.am, the card reader was seen functioning in more places then places it did not function.

Voters were orderly in those places and the process went on without the initial complains by the voters. But in areas where the card reader still had problems the voters were agitated and expressed thier frustration.

No violence was recorded anywhere in Cross River as at the time of this report.
