INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu who was in the state for the mock exercise said he was pleased with the performance of the gadgets as observed across the towns visited.

The INEC boss also said that 74% Permanent Voter Card collection rate is already recorded in the state while describing the development as impressive.

Among the towns visited include, Igede, Ikere, and Ado-Ekiti, the State Capital.
