FCT Polls: Voting for Disabled persons, threatened

As Voice of Nigeria Correspondents went around most of the polling units in AMAC, Nyanya Registration Area, they stated that by their observation, some polling units made little or no provision for people with disabilities.

Polling Unit 010 of Nyanya Area in AMAC had no provision.

Polling Units 070, 069 and 014 on Area F1/VIO Road had braille’s to enable blind voters to cast their votes but had no magnifying glasses for the people with albinism.

There was no provision made for other categories of people with disabilities, which made the officials set them aside until they could resolve the issue.
