LG Poll: Polling units experience low turnout of voters

ALIMOSHOTODAY gathered that although the residents of Lagos are expected to vote in their choice candidates as chairmen and councillors in the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state, there has been low turnout of voters in most polling booths across the state. There are also situations where officials of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) were yet to arrive as of 9:30 am.

VOTERS

FOR instance, in the Alausa area of Ikeja where the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, usually casts his vote, LASIEC officials arrived at 9:30 am, while few voters were sighted sitting, awaiting the arrival of the officials and commencement of the poll exercise.

While, at the polling unit situated at the entrance of Shoprite, Ikeja, an electoral official was already seated with the voting materials, but no voter was sighted around.
