New vote-buying method emerge in Ondo governorship elections New vote-buying method emerge in Ondo governorship elections

Some party agents are reportedly handing out signed papers to voters at some polling units at the ongoing 2024 Ondo governorship elections.

According to TheCable, some voters at PU007, Ajagba Ward 2, Irele Local Government Area, were given signed papers after casting their ballots.

These signed papers, as we are learning, will be used by the voters to collect cash from the party agents.

However, these voters have no idea of the amount of money they will receive for selling their franchise.



The off-cycle elections are currently taking place in 18 Local Government Areas and across 3,930 polling units.

Polls opened at 8:00 am and will close at 2:30 pm; however, the last person in the voting queue will be allowed to exercise their franchise in line with electoral guidelines.
