The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has concluded arrangements to postpone the governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections scheduled for Saturday, March 11.
The polls have now been rescheduled by one week to March 18, 2023, credible sources in the commission told Daily Trust.
It was learnt that the postponement was due to the inability of the commission to commence the re-configuration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines used for the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, to enable their use for the state elections.
Authoritative sources told Daily Trust that the commission management is currently holding a meeting, where it was considering either March 18 or March 25 for the elections.
