Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) plans on Saturday to publicly test card reader machines that will be used in the country's March 28 election.

Nick Dazang, INEC’s deputy director for public affairs, says the testing of the machines aims to ensure transparency to win the confidence of prospective voters ahead of the election.

“INEC is going to test the card readers and it is going to simulate a voting arrangement in wards across the 12 states in six geopolitical zones," said Dazang. "The idea is to now further test the card reader and to invite stakeholders to see for themselves how these card reader works and also to generate confidence”.

The electoral body aims to remove doubts and myths surrounding the machines, he added.
