The accreditation of voters has started trickling at Brass Ward 4 which is in Okpoama with card reader unable to read some voters leading to filling of incidents forms.
The exercise at Unit 2, Ward 4 which started at 9am had only three successfully accredited voters after one hour.
Very few persons were at the St. Paul School I for the exercise, frustration is on the faces of those who have unsuccessfully passed fit by the card readers.
