In Osun's 2026 elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, expressed concern over a shortage of Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) machines in Ward 3, Unit 25 of Ifelodun, Modakeke. Despite a high voter turnout, only one BVAS was available. Olabisi urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to rectify this issue, while also complaining about a lack of ink for thumbprints.
Osun State Commissioner for Transport, Sesan Oyedele, reported that the sole BVAS at the polling unit was malfunctioning. He stated that despite the large voter turnout, the network was poor, causing delays and affecting the voting process. Both Olabisi and Oyedele spoke at the polling unit, highlighting the impressive voter turnout but emphasizing the technical challenges impeding the voting process.
They appealed to INEC to swiftly provide a backup BVAS machine to expedite accreditation and allow more voters to cast their ballots within the allotted time. They also criticized the ink being used for the accreditation process.
