Voting has begun in Osogbo and Olorunda local government areas of Osun State, despite initial concerns of voter apathy due to pre-election violence. In Ward 2, Units 3 and 5 of Olorunda, a large number of voters participated as the voting commenced just minutes before 9am, due to the delayed arrival of INEC ad-hoc staff. Police personnel at polling units were unarmed and acted appropriately.
In Ward 5, Unit 14 of Olorunda, some voters reported an alleged BVAS malfunction, which was later clarified. The presiding officers explained that either fingerprint or picture could be used for voter accreditation during the elections. At Ward 5, Unit 7 of Olorunda, the elderly and People With Disabilities were given priority during the voting process.
There was also a reported issue of a BVAS machine malfunction in Ward 1 Unit 10 of Boripe L.G at 8:40am. The Osun INEC Public Relations Officer, Musa Olurode, clarified that the criteria for voter accreditation is either fingerprints or pictures. If one fails to register, the other method is still acceptable.
